Sense

We are Sense – supporting everyone who is deafblind or has complex disabilities. We believe everyone should be able to take part in life, no matter their disability. Our work empowers thousands of people who are deafblind or have complex disabilities to communicate, experience the world and fulfil their potential.

We put disabled people and their loved ones at the heart of everything we do. We have over 65 years of expertise in providing personalised support for people of all ages — from early life to adulthood.

We offer residential care, virtual support, and we have a network of centres in communities across the country. We also provide lifelong opportunities for disabled people to be creative and active through holidays, arts, sports, and wellbeing programmes. Information and Advice from Sense can help you find the right support for you and your family.

Everything we do supports individuals to express themselves, to develop their skills and confidence, to make choices and to live a full life. We believe that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential.

Who is this aimed at?

For everyone living with complex disabilities.

People with complex disabilities tend to have two or more disabilities and experience unique barriers in daily life.

For everyone who is deafblind.

Deafblindness is a disability in its own right. It means you have sight and hearing loss that affects your everyday life.
