When Peter met Ivan, they clicked right from the start. Now they're firm friends.

Sara loves swimming and has always dreamt of swimming in the open sea, but never thought it was possible because of her disability.

Joe, our Digital Inclusion Officer, has been a key figure of guidance to those who have questions or concerns about how the introduction of new technologies will affect them day-to-day.

Chris loves to be sociable, make people around him laugh and enjoy each day as fully as possible. Our Creating Connections Digital Inclusion Officer, Joe, helped him buy, set up and make the most of a smartphone’s features. 

"I just didn’t know how to get James’ eyes checked. Checks like this should be in place to help families who have no other way. This Service is built around the children and that is exactly what they need.”

The combination of an understanding team around him and living a normal life for the first time in over a decade, enabled Ben to thrive. Since his move to his new home, Ben has been able to live a fuller, happier life of his choosing.

Joanna’s role as a Community Support Worker is wide ranging. From helping people learn to cook, to supporting them to be active citizens, Joanna always stays mindful of what really brings people joy. 

David has given himself the title of ‘King David’ at his new home called The Willows, a name the staff enjoy hearing him say because it shows how comfortable and safe he feels with them. 

"Because of SeeAbility, we were given more time with our son than we ever dreamt possible, and we can’t thank them enough."

“SeeAbility has given us peace of mind. Our daughter ... looks at her carers like she looks at us. We know they love her, but we do believe that she loves and trusts them too.”
