This Christmas, it's time to deck your halls and make the season bright in support of those living with deafblindness. Untangle the fairy lights, dig out that inflatable Santa and join us in lighting up the night this ho-ho-holiday season.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
As the countdown to Christmas begins, if you're planning to decorate the outside of your home, workplace or community space, why not raise money for charity at the same time?
Whether you’re putting up sparkling reindeer, inflatable snowmen or cascading fairy lights, we want to know about it. Your display of holiday spirit could bring people together and make a big difference for those with dual sensory loss this winter.
For people who are deafblind, the short winter days and low light levels can make it difficult to get out of the house, socialise, or go about everyday tasks. The money you raise will help Deafblind UK be there for those affected by sight and hearing loss this festive season.
So, brighten your home, school or workplace, and spread the joy of Christmas in support of Deafblind UK.
