About North East Sensory Services (NESS)

NESS supports over 6,000 people living with serious sight and/or hearing loss across North East Scotland, in line with our Mission of “Achieving Independence for Blind and Deaf People”. Many aspects of daily life have moved online –greatly disadvantaging those who are digitally excluded. This barrier is much greater for those who have a sensory impairment. Our ICT Officers increase independence, economic security and inclusion by providing tailored training and support in the use of accessible technology and digital devices to our service users of all ages living with serious visual and/or hearing loss, increasing their participation in society.
