A NORTH-EAST charity dedicated to helping blind and deaf people has won a prestigious business award.
North East Sensory Services (NESS) triumphed in the ‘Making a Difference’ category at the Northern Star Business Awards on Thursday, March 25.
The charity was recognised for the work it does in helping achieve independence for people living with sensory impairments across the north of Scotland.
The annual Northern Star Business Awards are organised by the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce and took place virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Graham Findlay, chief executive of North East Sensory Services, said: “It’s a privilege to win such a prestigious award and we are thrilled that our work has been recognised.
“There was some fantastic competition so we are proud that the judges selected NESS for this prize.
“Our key mission is to make a life-changing difference to people with sensory impairments and give them the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
“This award is a tribute to our committed staff and the wonderful service users they support.
“As we begin to think about recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, achieving more independence for blind and deaf people has never been more important.
“They have endured more than most, but they can also play a key role economically and socially as the north of Scotland recovers.”
