Thousands of people who are deafblind rely on technology, interpreters and most of all, Deafblind UK, to help them do something as simple as having a conversation.
You can help!
Your gift will help us to support thousands of people for whom sight and hearing loss makes having a conversation difficult.
You can help people like William:
“I rely heavily on video calls for any conversation, so, when I started to have problems with my internet connection, my world fell apart. For many people, a few days or even weeks without the internet wouldn’t be too problematic. But for me it was everything. I realised I was completely alone.
“I realised I was completely alone. I was completely cut off from the world.
“James, from Deafblind UK called my internet provider and acted as my interpreter. Not only did he manage to resolve the problem but we managed to negotiate a much better deal, with better connectivity too!
“That evening, I made a video call to my family. It was a massive comfort to talk to someone in my own language again.”
We support an increasing number of people who, like William, face daily battles, often leaving them exhausted, depleted and incredibly lonely. Your donation can help people to reconnect, to talk to their loved ones and take control of their own lives.
