Sense is a national charity that has, since 1955, been supporting and campaigning for children and adults who are deafblind.

Deafblindness refers to a combination of sight and hearing impairment which causes difficulties in a range of areas including communication and mobility.

At Sense we offer high-quality, flexible services across the UK, using skilled staff and a dedicated network of volunteers. Our Head Office is located on London’s Pentonville Road.

We take pride in offering specialist services built around the wishes of each person we support and enabling them to be as independent as possible.

Sense is planning for an ambitious future. We want to reach out to more people in need than ever before, supporting them to live independently, take opportunities in work and education, find friendship, and live their lives to the full. With our specialist
and expert care we improve the lives of thousands of deafblind people on a daily basis.

We have already started working on a bold and challenging 2013 – 2016 strategy plan. Our aim
is to become stronger; enabling us to provide the high quality services we already do and, indeed grow them. We aim to expand our services to children, young people and their families. We also aim to develop support and services for older people, many of whom lose much of their sight and hearing as part of aging but who rarely get the specialist advice or support they need.
