Deafblind UK has championed people with dual sensory loss since 1928, helping them to overcome the unique set of challenges they face. We support the rights and interests of deafblind people of all ages, in the belief that they deserve the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest, retain their independence, and be included in their local communities. Wellbeing, emotional and practical support forms the cornerstone of our support services. These services are entirely ‘bespoke’, recognising the uniqueness of every individual, and they are based very firmly on our fundamental belief that disability does not mean inability.
