THE work of a north charity dedicated to helping those with sight and hearing difficulties has been praised by Moray's MP.
North East Sensory Services (NESS) provide a range of support services for those suffering significant sight or hearing loss.
Moray MP Douglas Ross met with the charity's chief executive Graham Findlay to find out more about their work and how they adapted to the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic.
Speaking after the meeting, Mr Ross said: “I was delighted to meet Graham to hear about the amazing work North East Sensory Services does to help people in Moray who have sight and hearing difficulties.
"They have been well established in this area for many years, but like all other organisations, the Covid pandemic changed how they worked.
“There are currently about 1200 service users in Moray, and I know that they were supported so well during lockdown, which is testament to the amazing work that NESS does here in Moray.
“After more than a year, it is great that the service users in Moray can now make appointments at the resource centre in Elgin where they can once again receive the invaluable practical and emotional support provided by NESS in a face-to-face meeting.
“It’s great that we have such a wonderful service in Moray to help people deal with serious loss of sight or hearing and I’m grateful to Graham and all the team at North East Sensory Service who do such outstanding work.”
