Deafblind UK charity is now live with 40 users of ProgressCRM, with Report Writer and AFD Postcode. They converted from the Raiser's Edge to ProgressCRM during the first half of 2006.
Deafblind UK is currently assisting thousands of deafblind or dual sensory impaired people throughout the country to cope with their disability and to lead as fulfilled and independent lives as possible.
The charity offers comprehensive services to deafblind people, their support assistants and other professionals. These include training in communication and rehabilitation skills; a free 24 hour helpline; a regional network of staff and volunteers; a varied leisure programme and a range of publications in different reading formats.
Deafblind people have decided that the best way to increase the range of services to meet their unique needs and also to raise public awareness, is to create a National Centre for Deafblindness. Special features of the centre, built in Peterborough, include a guidance system to make it totally accessible to deafblind people, a publications department, an information and research centre, and conference facilities.
