Objectives

3 The Charity’s objects are the advancement of education, the promotion of equality and diversity, and the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, in each case with (1) a particular focus on people who are dual sensory impaired, that is they have both a severe sight and hearing loss, whilst (2) also supporting those who have a severe single sensory impairment and are at risk of a second sensory impairment, whether that is a sight or hearing loss. In furtherance of these objects, the Charity will (acting alone or in conjunction with, or support of, others): 3.1 Help people in Scotland with a severe sight and/or hearing loss to live as rightful members of their communities and to encourage and support contact and friendship between them and people who do not have sensory impairments. 3.2 Liaise with health and social service providers to make appropriate support available to people in Scotland with a severe sight and/or hearing loss. 3.3 Provide and encourage provision of facilities for the support, education and personal development of people in Scotland with a severe sight and/or hearing loss, and people providing support to them (their “circles of support”), including the provision of regional workers and clubs for people with a severe sight and/or hearing loss. 3.4 Develop and maintain appropriate accommodation for the benefit and use of people in Scotland with a severe sight and/or hearing loss and their circles of support. 3.5 Advance the education of the public in the needs and abilities of people with a severe sight and/or hearing loss and thereby raise awareness and understanding of these needs and abilities.
