The association of deafblind and dual sensory impaired people

Deafblind UK is working with Faith Communities to help them improve access for deafblind people.

They are acutely aware of the numbers of faith communities who require increased knowledge and skills so that they can both welcome deafblind people and extend this to full participation in events. Having established contact with many such communities since their development day in June 2005, they continue to forge links. They offer especially the support in raising awareness of the needs of people suffering dual (or single) sensory loss and on training packages to help equip them to create a relaxed and fully inclusive environment. If they can be of any help or if you would be interested in an Awareness/Training Day in your area, please do get in touch at pastoraldevelopment@deafblind.org.uk
