Our vision

Deafblind Scotland and Deafblind UK share a common vision:

A society in which deafblind people have the permanent support and recognition necessary to be equal citizens.

Our aims are designed to help us achieve this:

• to help deafblind people in Scotland live as rightful members of their own communities and to encourage and support contact between deafblind people and sighted hearing people
• to liaise with health and social service providers to make appropriate assistance available to deafblind people in Scotland
• to work in partnership with statutory and other agencies to improve the quality of life of deafblind people
• to raise awareness of both the needs and potential of deafblind people
• to encourage provision of facilities, services and support for deafblind people
