As we close out 2024, we’re glad to see the significant progress in having Deafblindness recognised as a distinct disability. But we know the fight isn’t over. Our goal is clear: we want 2025 to be about equality. Together, let’s make 2025 a year of real change.

Help us stop this unfair policy and gain fair pay for staff that go many extra miles to improve the lives of Deafblind people. Social care staff need more than warm words this winter. We need fair pay. Please show your support for the #MoreThanWarmWords campaign.
