BID Lincolnshire Sensory Services

Lincolnshire Sensory Services provides specialist information, guidance and support for anyone in Lincolnshire living with sight and/or hearing loss and dual sensory loss.

The Lincolnshire Sensory Services team understands the practical and emotional challenges that people with sensory loss can face in their everyday lives and focus on promoting independence, wellbeing and accessibility. They aim to help people maintain independence and dignity in every aspect of their lives and work closely with carers, families and other organisations to increase the understanding of the impact of sensory loss.

When you contact them, they will arrange to visit your home to complete a free assessment and talk to you about the support or equipment you may need.

This service is delivered on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council by BID services, a charity promoting choice and independence for people with sight/hearing loss.
