With your support we can enable people living with serious sight and/or hearing loss to overcome daily challenges, and to live their lives as independently as possible on their own terms.
North East Sensory Services (NESS) is an independent, local charity supporting over 6,250 people of all ages living with serious sensory loss in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Dundee and Moray. Our Mission is “Achieving Independence for Blind and Deaf People”.
By playing our lottery you are funding these vital projects, which:
- Support people with information and advice as they receive a diagnosis.
- Enable children and young people to grow in confidence, independence, social skills and ambition by participating in activities.
- Connect people through groups and classes, reducing isolation and building skills and friendships.
- Provide tailored support, enabling people to find employment, further education or training opportunities, or to remain in employment following a diagnosis.
- Increase independence and reduce isolation by training and supporting people to use accessible technology and digital devices.
In the words of the people we support:
“We feel less alone, now we have found a place to which we can turn for advice and support as we cope with this life-changing event.”
“I just love coming here. I always have a laugh and you feel wonderful after a visit.”
"Thank you so, so much for all you do in providing such a nurturing place for young people. Your social group has given him so much confidence and self-belief alongside being able to do so many fun activities and to be able to be just himself."
