| Annotation | The first two authors describe how Sense North was contacted by a local social services department (SSD) who were trying put together a package of support for a deafblind woman in her 70s. The article provides an example of how Sense can help to relieve clients' isolation, loneliness and boredom. Three main skills are focused on: communication, mobility and daily living skills. In the second article, Donna Trickett, Volunteer Co-ordinator at Sense's Coventry Resource Centre describes some of the things she has learned from working with older people with sensory impairment.
