Information

Website:	http://www.sense.org.uk
Company Overview:	Sense is the UK's largest organisation for children and adults who are deafblind or have associated disabilities. Sense works with a wide age range, from babies who have just been diagnosed to older people. We also offer training and other services related to deafblindness.
Mission:	Our vision is of a world in which all deafblind children and adults can be full and active members of society. Our purpose is to work in partnership with others – deafblind people, their families, carers and professionals – to ensure that everyone challenged by deafblindness or sensory impairment with other disabilities, has access to advice, opportunities and support
Products:	Our services include on-going support for deafblind people and families. These range from day services where deafblind people have the opportunity to learn new skills and Sense-run houses in the community – where people are supported to live as independently as possible. Our communicator-guides offer a vital lifeline to deafblind people living in their own homes. We also provide leading specialist advice, for example on education options and assistive technology

Give us your feedback and help shape our strategy
Sense is currently working to produce a strategic plan for April 2009 onwards that can drive our annual and three year rolling planning processes.

Our process includes opportunities for deafblind people outside the organisation and their families to make their views known. This is important because as a charity we are about benefit to all deafblind people and families and not just those we currently provide services to.
If you are interested in giving us your feedback, find out more and fill in our online strategy questionnaire on our website: www.sense.org.uk/strategy2009.
