HRH the Princess Royal marks 30 years of Sense International

10 October 2024

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 30th anniversary gala dinner such a success.

We were joined by our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, Olympian and broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye and celebrity auctioneer Raj Bisram on 26 September 2024 in Westminster.

Over the coming weeks we will be celebrating our changemakers, people who are overcoming the challenges of living with deafblindness and showing what can be achieved with the right intervention and support.

Several of our amazing changemakers attended the gala too – Stela and Petre from Romania and Dipak from Nepal. We are very grateful to them for generously sharing their stories of living with deafblindness.

We also premiered our new film to mark 30 years of Sense International.

We raised a fantastic £122,000 on the evening to help us continue supporting children, young people and their families. As our Patron said: “Small actions can make huge ripples of change. And that is what we can do collectively.”
