Trusts and Foundations
Being deaf or living with hearing loss and tinnitus can enormously impact a person’s quality of life – but support for hearing health is chronically underfunded.
This leads to poorer health outcomes, people losing their independence, and preventable barriers to work, education and connection.
Your funding can transform these experiences into timely diagnoses, effective support and lasting change for people whose lives are shaped by hearing loss.
The difference you can make
“Donating to RNID is an incredibly generous thing to do, and I’ve seen first-hand how transformative donations can be in the hands of RNID. Scientists really do rely on funding from organisations like RNID – our work wouldn’t be possible without it – so thank you so much to anyone who has donated in the past or is considering donating now.”
– Dr Chris Hardy, University College London
