This year has been different. Marking our 70th anniversary has meant looking back on seven decades of driving change and providing vital support to disabled people with complex needs and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has also given us special moments to come together. We\u2019ve celebrated our history, honoured the families who paved the way, and looked ahead to the future, together. In April, we marked our anniversary at Sense TouchBase Pears with our patron, HRH The Princess Royal. In September, we opened Sense Hub Belfast, expanding support for disabled people with complex needs in Northern Ireland and creating a space for people to connect, try new things and make friends. This has only been possible thanks to our generous supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re making progress in breaking down barriers, but there is still more to do. Proposed welfare reforms and a broken special educational needs and disabilities system continue to leave disabled people and families without the support they are entitled to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will stand alongside them for as long as it takes. Together, we can achieve long term change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year. As we look ahead, your continued support will help create a world where disabled people are connected and included, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading
