The Society provides a broad range of services to those with a sensory impairment in the West Yorkshire region.
These include a Sign Language Interpreting Service, equipment provision, social workers for profoundly deaf people, services for deafblind people, training courses and qualifications including a Taster Course, Levels 1–3 in British Sign Language, and Sensory Awareness.
It fundraises through events including corporate golf days, sporting dinners and wine tasting evenings, although also relies heavily on the generosity of individuals and charitable trusts alike.
In 1976, following the purchase of the former Leeds Public Dispensary, Centenary House was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on 13 February.
In 2004 Shire View Resource Centre for Visually Impaired People was welcomed under the banner of the Society.
