How we use gifts in Wills

Funding vital research

RNID is the biggest funder of hearing research in the UK, supporting projects that seek to restore hearing, prevent hearing loss and silence tinnitus. Gifts left in Wills are a major part of making that happen.

Breaking down barriers

People who are deaf or have hearing loss face challenges in everyday life. Gifts in Wills help to break those barriers down, from lobbying the Government to making sure people who are deaf or have hearing loss aren’t forgotten about when policy is made.

“I hope this research will lead both to new tests… and new strategies for improving communication. Without RNID’s support, this work would simply not be possible.”

“RNID has given me a whole new purpose to my life.

I’ve been wearing hearing aids for seven and a half years. When I first started wearing them, it
was a miracle. The first sounds I noticed were birdsong, my coat rustling and how noisy it was in the supermarket.

“They are my lifeline. I couldn’t work without them or do the social things like sport and line dancing.

“Thanks to the support I’ve had from RNID, I’ve gained the confidence and knowledge to be able to advocate for the needs of people
like me with hearing loss.”
