Vision

Deafblind Member and guide

Deafblind UK’s vision is that people who have a combined sight and hearing loss should have the same rights, access and opportunities as others.

Mission

Deafblind UK is a membership organisation of, and governed by, people who have both a sight and hearing loss. We champion the rights and interests of all people who have a combined sight and hearing loss and deliver quality services to give these individuals autonomy and control over their lives. Through our work we support equality, independence and choice.

Our overarching goals

1) To work towards a more equal society by raising awareness and understanding of deafblindness by engaging with people who have a sight and hearing loss, the Government and other organisations, individuals and communities.

2) To enable people with both a sight and hearing loss to remain in their own homes and participate in their local communities.

3) To provide relevant, high quality Peer Support, Befriending and Information and Advice services to people with a dual sensory loss, helping them to; live independently, interact with others, understand their rights and access their entitlements.
