Become a corporate partner
We’re here to support the 12 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. But we can’t do it alone. Find out how your company can make a difference through a mutually beneficial partnership.
Work with us to transform lives
Our communities are huge: One in five adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. They are your customers, clients and employees.
We create life-changing partnerships for our communities across 4 key areas:
- Inclusion: We work with companies to create products and services that enable people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus to lead fully inclusive lives.
- Health: We create partnerships to improve people’s hearing health, and help make sure people who are deaf or have hearing loss have equal access to health services.
- Employment: We harness the part employers can play in making sure that people who are deaf or have hearing loss or tinnitus have equal opportunities to work and build their careers.
- Research: We bring companies and leading researchers together to bring about treatments to prevent hearing loss, silence tinnitus and restore hearing for those who need them.
Together, we can make real change happen.
