My Story

Hello there,

Thanks for visiting. The team at Deafblind UK do incredible work supporting people with dual sensory loss. Having limited vision and hearing can be an incredibly isolating experience, but it doesn't have to be.

Deafblind UK offer a range of free services including a dedicated helpline, trained counsellors, volunteer befriending service and social groups. They also provide help with assistive technology, heavily subsidised respite breaks and benefit advice.

It's estimated that there are 400,000 people in the UK with dual sensory loss. With your help, Deafblind UK can support even more.

Now we've done the serious stuff, allow me to tell you my story. I have personally worked with Deafblind UK for seven years. They were one of my first clients and have been absolutely wonderful ever since I first met them.

I had the honour of running the London Marathon for them in 2018. If you've known me for a while, you might even remember my semi-viral 'Dares for Donations' campaign: https://www.katielingo.co.uk/the-london-marathon-2018-marketing-campaign/

With your help, we can achieve that success once again. Let me take care of the running - I'll let you handle the donations.

Thank you so, so much. You are really making a difference to so many people.

With love,

Katie
