Our audience
There’s a wide range of people who visit our website and social media, including:
- People we support, and people we might support in future.
- The parents, loved ones and carers of disabled people.
- Fundraisers, campaigners, donors and funding partners.
- Current and prospective employees, volunteers and trustees.
- Other stakeholders, such as professionals from local authorities, teachers and more.
Remember, any of the users listed could be disabled or have accessibility needs.
Some people who engage with our website or social media will know us already, others will be new to Sense. They may be unfamiliar with what we do, who we support and how we work. This is likely to be true of the people we’re most keen to reach – people who are deafblind and those with complex disabilities, and their parents, families and carers. We want these users to understand what Sense does without feeling overwhelmed by convoluted language or jargon.
