Social media fundraising

Celebrating a birthday, special event, or someone important to you? Fundraising on social media is an easy way to do it – and every penny you raise will come to us.

The funds you raise could fund life-changing research and provide information and support to people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
