Deafblind Scotland aims to "help deafblind people in Scotland live as rightful members of their own communities".
Membership is free to anyone who is dual sensory impaired.

We provide:

• Information, advice and support
• Rainbow magazine and Snippets newspaper
• Holidays, outings and clubs
• A 'Doers' group for more active people - to undertake hillwalking, skiing, bowling and lots of other activities
• An Usher Syndrome support group which meets twice per year
• Rainbow clubs for those who are less active
• Training

Persons are regarded as deafblind if they have a severe degree of combined visual and auditory impairment resulting in problems of communication, information and mobility.

A rehabilitation flat above the office in Lenzie offers members the opportunity to improve their cooking skills, maximise their independence, or just take a break in pleasant surroundings. The flat is designed to sleep 2/3 people. If funding is available a guide/communicator service can be provided. The flat is conveniently placed 50 yards from Lenzie station and 1 mile from the M80.

A training centre next to the office in Lenzie offers a programme of activities and training including computer skills, hairdressing, and crafts.

We provide communication support to those with a dual impairment who want to access information on the internet. You can learn the skills to use your own computer OR book an hour in the internet cafe.

We have a small but comprehensive display of equipment for you to try under expert guidance, including: CCTV, a range of magnifying equipment, voice synthesizers and independent living aids.

We provide a wide range of certificated training to professionals and others with an interest in dual impairment. We also deliver awareness training at a level to suit everyone's needs and budget.

Deafblind Scotland can provide a trained guide/communicator service in most parts of Scotland if funding is available. This service changes lives by enabling people to remain involved in their own community. Deafblind Scotland campaigns tirelessly for the provision of this service to all people with a dual impairment.
