Sense
Sense Northern Ireland
We support children and adults with complex disabilities across Northern Ireland. There are around 52,000 people with complex disabilities in Northern Ireland.
Story
Sense has been supporting people with deafblindness and complex disabilities in Northern Ireland since 1990. That gives us almost 35 years’ experience working with disabled people to communicate, make their own choices and live life to the full.
These are all the ways we support people in Northern Ireland today, including:
Supported living and residential care, specialist support for children with complex disabilities, family support services, day services for adults as well as Sense NI short breaks.
“It was difficult to leave our only daughter Ruby in a nursery, even though we knew that the staff were experienced. With the skills, patience and dedication of the staff, Sense has helped Ruby to be a happier, stronger and more able child. The service provided by Sense and the wonderful staff at Jordanstown is simply invaluable to us as a family.” Lisa, Ruby’s mum

Our new home in Belfast
