Welcome to coHearentVision
coHearentVision is the working name of The Leeds Society for Deaf and Blind People which has existed since 1876. Throughout its long history, the single objective has been to respond to the expressed needs and aspirations of deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, blind and partially sighted people. This has been achieved by the active participation of sensory-impaired people, both as members of committees at every level and as members of staff.
The success of coHearentVision is without doubt due to the active pursuit of this policy. However, sensory-impaired people recognise the value of the large number of people who have given and continue to give their time and talents in a voluntary capacity, and this valuable input has been a significant factor in the progress of the Society.
There are few, if any, other voluntary societies which provide services for both sensory impairments. The reputation of coHearentVision is virtually without equal in this regard, and the benefit of our advice, opinion and experience is sought by people throughout the UK. coHearentVision recognises that its long partnership since the 1950s with Leeds City Council Social Services has also been a significant factor in this success.
