Our vision: A society where deafblind people have the permanent support and recognition necessary to be equal citizens

About Us

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
