Forest Sensory Services is a small friendly charity, which provides support to those with sensory impairment (sight and hearing).
We believe as an organisation we promote and encourage our clients to remain as independent as possible with their impairments. This is done by referrals, equipment, and support from our qualified Eye care liaison officer (ECLO). We also offer a range of different activities for your loved ones to participate in. Such as balance group, technology support, craft, lunch clubs, Singing and trips, our priority is ensuring all our clients can be Inclusive, achieve their goals and have new opportunities.
Forest Sensory is a safe place for people to come along and engage with others . All staff and volunteers are here to help and encourage sensory impaired clients to learn new skills, participate in new activities
We value our volunteers and are grateful for the time they give, it is all appreciated- if you would like to become a volunteer we are always grateful for any extra help.

All our staff and volunteers are DBS checked and carry out sighted guide training. We ask that you pay the £10 cost of the DBS that we will refund to you after 2 months.
