THE SEE & HEAR VAN The SVAB See & Hear Van is a brand new purpose-designed vehicle which we take to all corners of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. It was delivered in November 2009. 
The See & Hear Van has on board an array of information about services and specialist equipment, for anyone with a VISUAL and/or HEARING impairment. Advice and follow-up information and contacts are available from our staff. We have installed up-to-date IT equipment on which visitors to the van can view demonstration DVDs and national charity catalogues of the most recent innovations in the sensory impairment field. This service is funded by SVAB, and is managed in partnership with other agencies. The volunteers who staff the van are specially trained for this work by the Sensory Resource Development service of the Community Council of Shropshire and the van also receives direct support and advice from the sensory impairment services of both Shropshire County Council and the Borough of Telford and Wrekin. Visitors to the van therefore get free advice and information and the chance to try out specialist equipment, including telephones and other technology, to find out what might suit their individual needs. The locations visited by the van in Shropshire include: - Market Drayton
