RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People)

For a deaf person in a hearing world, every day is a challenge. RNID is a national charity supporting more than 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Every day was a challenge

Every day was a challenge
Charlotte had recurring ear infections as a child that led to severe hearing loss. They were bullied at school and didn’t have the right support. As an adult, Charlotte found situations overwhelming and was left feeling anxious, frustrated and alone.

A lifeline of connection

A lifeline of connection
Thanks to RNID, Charlotte found communication tools that gave them confidence, technology that made them safe and received information about hearing implants. Now Charlotte can hear conversations and birds singing and the world has come alive.

Support that changes lives

Support that changes lives
Every year, RNID helps more than 50,000 people by giving practical support and information over the phone, online and in the community. Your gift could help support people to feel more confident, independent and less isolated in the world.
