We were so delighted to announce @josierones as our Celebrity of The Year at the #SenseAwards 2021!
Comedian, author, actor (did you see how awesome she was in @BBCCasualty?), Rosie is tackling representation head-on. All while being hilarious!
Here's a few words from Rosie.

6 out of 10 who have died from Covid-19 are disabled.
Disabled people need to be put at the heart of next year’s public #CovidInquiry.

Play is vitally important for disabled children.
It gives a sense of wellbeing, builds strong family relationships, learning to socialise and communication.
9 in 10 disabled children don't have the same play opportunities
1 in 2 children are excluded from play

Everyone @sensecharity and @SenseInternatl is deeply saddened by the news of the death of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh. An incredible life devoted to the Queen, his family and country. Our thoughts are with our Patron, HRH, The Princess Royal at this time.

.@NHSEngland has paid tribute to our NHS staff over the last 12 months. Rightly so. We must also applaud our extraordinary social care workforce for keeping the individuals they support safe and our incredible unpaid carers who haven’t stopped over the year. Thank you. – at Brent, London

This is an issue that doesn’t get enough attention, and we’re grateful to @KatiePrice for creating a discussion on it. It's sad to see cruel trolls attacking her on social media over this. It’s unacceptable for her, and all other parents in this situation. metro.co.uk/2021/01/14/katie…

Want to share a bright story in an otherwise dark week. Our shop in Newhaven was broken into. There was substantial damage. Today a man came in & made an unprompted donation to cover our costs. He wants to remain anonymous There really is a strong sense of community out there 🙏 – at South West, England

Nadia has taken up the #65ForSense challenge with a spin. Nadia put on a blindfold, noise cancelling headphones and got into a spin, then attempted to sit on a chair. You can donate to Nadia’s challenge here: bit.ly/2Bv76t3

In 1955, Sense was founded by Peggy and Margaret who both had deafblind children. 65 yeas later we're continuing their mission and now also support people with other complex disabilities. Help us celebrate our anniversary next week. #DBAW #Sense65
