Student Campaign & Fundraising Volunteer
About organisation / project
Imagine a world where your sight is blurred and sounds are muffled, where everyday things like finding information, cooking, leaving the house, even talking to family and friends, are exhaustingly difficult.
Deafblindness is the loss of sight and hearing to the point where someone’s communication, mobility or ability to access information are impacted. Living with deafblindness can be frightening, lonely and confidence-draining. It often brings with it additional problems like mental processing issues and can quickly lead to feelings of isolation and depression.
There are nearly 400,000 deafblind people living in the UK today. Our ageing population means that this number is rising all the time.
We work to ensure that individuals with all experiences of sight and hearing loss are supported to live the lives they want and to make this happen we need to fundraise £35,000 aeach week! This allows us to provide - Care and Support - Infomation, Advice and Casework - Digital Technology Training and Support - Community Befriending and Outreach - Training
We need your support to bring all of this to the South West and ensure our communitiies aren't missing out.
