Our vision
We are Scotland’s national charity and principal authority on meeting the complex needs of individuals living with deafblindness.
“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 that help enable deafblind people to take up their rightful place in their own communities and works to ensure their voices are heard across society.
To achieve this we:
-
provide direct services including Guide Communication, self-management support and rehabilitation interventions.
-
liaise with Government and Public Services to advocate for appropriate support to be made available for deafblind people in Scotland.
-
raise awareness within the public of the needs and contributions that Deafblind people can and do make.
As an organisation, we are committed to achieving our vision - and are working hard to make this a reality. One thing is clear - our work is not yet done.
