RNID has been helping people with hearing loss for more than 100 years, and we’ve changed the lives of millions. We support organisations to become more confident working with people who are deaf and have hearing loss or tinnitus. Our online hearing check has now been taken by over 100,000 people and we campaign to challenge the discrimination faced by our communities in society.
Last year we supported 367,000 people online, with 19,000 more helped by our contact centre. We also invested £1m in ground-breaking research into better treatments. Working in coalition with other charities, we successfully campaigned for the BSL Act to give legal recognition to British Sign Language for the first time. Our long-standing campaign to make hearing aids accessible in every region of the UK was realised.
We are externally focused, curious, evidence-based, deliberate, agile, and future orientated. Our values are at the heart of what we do.
We strive to be and continue to be connected to our communities, insightful and confident in what we do and who we are, curious in everything we do and passionate about our purpose.
