I have seen first hand the life-changing effect Sense's experts can have for children and adults who are deafblind and or have complex needs and for their families, carers and the professionals who work with them.

As a parent of a young man who was born deafblind with complex needs my family, in particular my son, has benefited from the very specialist support of Sense. For years, caring for him and fighting his corner to: help him; understand his needs; access appropriate healthcare, education, support; and finally, an adult life, has taken all my energy and resilience. I couldn't have done it without the support of Sense. Now I am no longer a full-time carer I can help others by raising awareness and funds so please support me.

Sense is a charity that believes no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential.Their experts offer personalised support through their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are here for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.
