Elliot, a young deafblind boy

Sense is running a special TV appeal for our work with children who are both deaf and blind.

You can watch the appeal or read the transcript. Please make a donation now and help us bring a child like Elliot into our world.

Sense is the leading national charity that supports and campaigns for children and adults who are deafblind

Improving concessionary bus travel permits

Deafblind people and their families are calling on the Government to change the requirements of the national concession to provide free travel for:

  • Disabled people at any time of day
  • Companions of disabled people who cannot travel alone

As part of this campaign, an event will take place on Wednesday 29 October 2008 from 2pm-4.30pm in Westminster, London. The event consists of two different activities:

  1. a series of speeches at Central Hall, Westminster, about why change is needed to the current national concessionary bus travel allowance
  2. an opportunity to meet with your local MP to tell them about your experiences and what improvements you would like made

We want you to be involved. Find out how as well as more information about both events and the campaign as a whole below. This information is also available in an easy read pdf format (687kb) and easy read text only format (12kb).

If you cannot come to the lobby of parliament, don’t worry, there are other things you can do to support the campaign (word, 36kb).
