Tom has volunteered at RNID Near You in Northern Ireland for 2 years, supporting people with hearing aid maintenance. Here's his story.
Volunteering
Gerry Knight from Omagh in Northern Ireland was recently recognised for his incredible contribution to RNID as a volunteer over 20 years.
Our volunteer Clare Wildsmith was chosen to represent RNID in the People’s Procession in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 July to celebrate the King’s coronation year. Here she reflects on her experience.
Mariette Mulvenna, RNID Development Officer in Northern Ireland, brought RNID to Northern Ireland’s biggest agricultural show this May: the Balmoral Show.
We are delighted that we have achieved the Investing in Volunteers quality standard at RNID. The award is given to charities who value their volunteers and demonstrate their commitment to volunteering.
Our volunteers Hilary Lewis and Brian Caul, who were both been awarded MBEs at the Queen’s birthday honours in 2022, are receiving their Investiture in February and March this year.
Steve started using hearing aids at six years old and brings a wealth of experience to his volunteer role in Northern Ireland.
Gerry started volunteering with RNID in 2003. As someone with hearing loss who’d been wearing hearing aids for many years, Gerry felt that by becoming a volunteer he could easily relate to people looking for support.
