11 November 2011
Long-time celebrity supporter, actress Stephanie Beacham has spoken of her support for Sense in her new autobiography, Many Lives.
Stephanie who is partially deaf herself, has pledged her support to numerous events and campaigns and has met many deafblind people. Her late father had acquired deafblindness.
In the book she says:
"I have two charities I support with all my might. One is Sense and the other is Hearing Dogs For The Deaf.
"Sense supports deafblind people. One really important thing the charity does is assist people in communicating with their hearing impaired relatives.
"A tiny and sweet example might be to offer a deafblind person a cup of tea by taking their hand and writing the letter 'T' on it, and waiting for a response."
