Your fundraising supports children with deafblindness to live, learn and thrive
Our #TeamSenseInternational fundraisers are key in ensuring that every child, no matter how complex their disabilities, is given a chance to thrive.
- £50 could pay for assistive devices such as glasses, hearing aids or a white cane for 3 children.
- £100 could provide training for 3 families to improve their understanding of deafblindness and how to support their children.
- £1,000 could support a young person with deafblindness to attend a vocational training course for 3 months to learn new skills and improve their livelihood.
Every penny you raise will allow us to continue to provide expert support and services to people with deafblindness.
We could not achieve this without you. Thank you.
