Deafblind Scotland is an award-winning national charity, and for 30+ years, Scotland’s principal authority on meeting the complex needs of individuals with acquired deafblindness. We aim to raise aspirations/expand the lives of Deafblind people, some of the least visible and most isolated members of society.
Our aim is a society in which deafblind people have the permanent support and recognition necessary to be equal citizens. We enable deafblind people to take their rightful place in their local communities or ensuring their voices are heard across society.
Our support/services include communication access advice; information/formatting services; welfare rights support; accredited training; health, wellbeing, and skills development programmes; and a specialist guide/communicator service. DbS membership can be the crucial factor in determining whether a deafblind person is able to maintain an independent lifestyle.
