North East Sensory Services (NESS) triumphed in the Making a Difference category at the Northern Star Business Awards. It was recognised for the work it does in helping achieve independence for people living with sensory impairments across Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. The annual awards are organised by the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce and took place virtually as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.

But even though the condition will eventually leave her with significant sight loss, she feels lucky about the treatment and support she’s received. She paid tribute to both NHS Grampian and the North East Sensory Services (NESS), a local charity that has supported her through sight loss.
