NESS provides joint sensory services including information and training, practical and emotional support, and clubs and groups. Our Mission is “ Achieving Independence for Blind and Deaf People”, while our Vision is of “ A Scotland aware of the needs of people with sensory impairment, that includes them as equal participants in community life and offers them the opportunities available to all”. We have statutory contracts with four local health and social care partnerships to provide specialist social work and rehabilitation support. In addition NESS delivers a wide range of Added Value projects funded by charitable income, designed to meet those service gaps identifie through our knowledge and understanding of the complex needs of the people we support
