The North Regional Association for Sensory Support (NRASS)

The North Regional Association For Sensory Support represents the interest of people who are Deaf, Deaf/Blind or have a significant sensory loss, throughout the region. The main purpose of the association is to promote better services and greater interest through health, education and social services.

We are funded through membership fees and donations and provide a forum where policy makers, service providers and users can exchange information on developments and new legislation to ensure best value and good practice are brought into play.

The independent advocacy service is the only direct service to users in the North region and has been funded mainly through grant and donations. Membership is formed from local authorities, health trusts, voluntary societies and clubs, service users and national and regional organisations.
