Our Vision

Our vision is a society in which deafblind people have the support and recognition necessary to have their human rights upheld enabling them to achieve equal citizenship. We provide advice, support and opportunities to help enable deafblind people to take up their rightful place in their own communities and work to ensure their voices are heard across society.

"Deafblind Scotland has given me the confidence to get out and enjoy life. Without their help I would be basically housebound." - Deafblind Scotland Member

Everyone deserves recognition.

At Deafblind Scotland, we are committed to advocating for the recognition and rights of the deafblind community.

 

Currently in Scotland, deafblindness is not recognised as a disability in its own right. Our Defining Deafblindness campaign is a crucial step towards establishing a formal definition of deafblindness in Scotland. By doing so, we aim to improve early identification, diagnosis, and access to tailored support services. 


Join our campaign to recognise deafblindness as a distinct disability in Scotland.
