Charity Information
Established in 1928, with the Head Office in Peterborough,
Deafblind UK is a national charity offering over 2.6 million people
across the UK living with Deafblindness, or a combined sight and
hearing loss, practical daily-living support and access to vital
information.
Deafblindness is one of the most challenging
disabilities that a person can endure, and has been described as
'the loneliest condition in the world'.
Deafblind people rely on human contact to convey vital
information and therefore often find themselves excluded from
aspects of everyday life. By providing human support
in the form of help at home, communication and mobility support,
counselling, together with specially adaptive equipment, we help
deafblind people achieve their full potential, whatever that may
be.
We need volunteers like you to help us raise urgently needed
funds and ensure that deafblind people can achieve some
independence and continue to be part of the community.
