Hi, I’m Amanda and I am the Wellbeing & Emotional Support Co-Ordinator here at Deafblind UK. I have been at Deafblind UK for 12 years now. Prior to this, I worked within domiciliary care.

As part of my role, I oversee the national helpline and our wellbeing and emotional support services. With our services being remote, we strive to offer the best support within our means, and within the wellbeing and emotional support service, we offer birthday calls, quarterly wellbeing calls and much needed emotional support, being our main offerings. However, we are always looking at different ways in which we can reach out and support our members, so your feedback is always greatly appreciated. Maybe you have an idea that we haven’t thought about, if so, please do let me know! 

As your key contact, I aim to support you as best as I can, to answer any questions you may have and guide you in your role. I endeavour to get back to you as soon as I can, however I am more than happy to be nudged if you have not heard back from me!! 

Your time, support and listening ear really is precious to us and more so the members. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to offer the support we do so thank you for being here! I very much look forward to working with you.

If you have any issues or questions regarding your volunteering role, please contact Amanda at amanda.easton@deafblind.org.uk or call 01733 973437
