Forest Sensory Services
We provide support, services and equipment for Forest of Dean residents with sensory impairments.
About Our Charity

Forest Sensory Services supports people living with sight and hearing loss across the local community. We provide practical help, emotional support and access to specialist resources, ensuring individuals and their families are not left to cope alone. Our aim is to reduce isolation, build confidence and improve everyday quality of life.
We work with people of all ages who are affected by sensory impairment, offering guidance, equipment, activities and one-to-one support. By focusing on independence, wellbeing and inclusion, we help people remain active, connected and confident within their community, even as their sensory needs change.


Rooted in the local community, Forest Sensory Services is driven by compassion, dignity and respect. Everything we do is centred on empowering people with sensory impairments to live fuller, more independent lives. Through practical support and genuine care, we help people feel valued, understood and supported.

We run events, workshops, support groups and more all year round and our team and other members are more than happy to welcome you at any event, any time. If you have difficulty travelling then please get in touch as we may be able to assist you in attending our events.
