Senses Foundation (Inc.)
The Senses Foundation is a charitable, not for profit organisation providing disability support services to people of all ages throughout Western Australia. Senses Foundation’s unique service speciality is the provision of services to people who are deafblind.
Senses Foundation had our origins 110 years ago as the Royal WA Institute for the Blind, then amalgamated with the WA Deafblind Association in 2001 to become the Senses Foundation Inc.
Senses Foundation has undergone considerable change and development during the period of the first Strategic Plan, 2004 – 2009. The most important change has been the increase in client services. In 2004, Senses Foundation provided just over 35,000 hours of service to clients. By June 2008, Senses Foundation was providing over 69,000 hours of client service per annum, an increase of 97% in four years. In the year just ended, Senses Foundation provided 83,842 hours of client service to 297 people, an increase of 22% on the previous year.
Senses Foundation is a sustainable, person centred, community based, disability organisation with its primary focus on services to its clients.
