About This Cause

Every disabled person should have the opportunity to connect with others and be included in the world. Which is why we’re here, in people’s homes, centres and communities, focusing on the things a person can do, not what they can’t. We celebrate the moments of connection that bring more joy to life. Together, we always find a way, no matter how complex someone’s disability. Whether it’s communicating with your child for the first time, learning to live more independently or finding friendship through our sports and arts activities - these are the moments that make a difference. Sense is a leading disability charity with extensive knowledge and expertise in delivering personalised, creative and flexible support at every stage of life. Sense was started 70 years ago, by two mothers whose children were born deafblind. No one knew how to help them. Taking matters into their own hands, they proved that with the right support at the right time, their children could communicate, learn and develop. Sense continues their mission to this day – breaking down barriers to create a world where every disabled person is included and connected. Where children can communicate with their parents and receive the best possible start in life, young people and adults can develop skills, build confidence and connect with their community, and families can find the hope and resilience to thrive, not just survive. Together, we can achieve long term change. That’s why we go to any lengths, step up in the face of adversity and unite with the 1.6 million people with complex disabilities in the UK. Regardless of how long it takes, how many barriers we need to overcome or how hard we have to fight, we’ll stop at nothing to create a world where disabled people are connected and included, no matter what.
