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

Deafblind Awareness Week

One million facebookers, bloggers and twitters, a quarter of a million deafblind people in the UK, 40 signing venture scouts, five short films, two continents, one celebrity photographer.

Sense is marking Deafblind Awareness Week on the 22 - 28 June with a truly worldwide web of initiatives including a series of filmed documentaries, a virtual gallery to experience deafblindness and a portal to give a sensory makeover to social websites. We’ve also collaborated with celebrity photographer, Dave Hogan to capture images that represent life for deafblind people today.

Welcome to Deafblind Awareness Week. We hope you enjoy the ride!
