Support a<br />
good cause<br />
<strong>Deafblind</strong> <strong>UK</strong> supports<br />

without support <strong>from</strong> our<br />
members and their friends and<br />
family. Do you know someone<br />
who might want to use our<br />
conference centre, take on a<br />
challenge event for us or even<br />
volunteer for us? If so please<br />
contact us using the details on<br />
the back of this magazine.<br />
