Sense
Sense is here to offer personalised support to help
people communicate and experience the world. For
everyone living with complex disabilities. For everyone
who is deafblind. We believe that no one, no matter how
complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or
unable to fulfil their potential. Our experts offer support
that’s tailored to the individual needs of each person,
whether that’s at our centres, through our holidays and
short breaks, or in people’s own homes. In addition
to practical support, we also provide information
to families, and campaign for the rights of people
with complex disabilities to take part in life.
