LETTERS – Volunteers’ week is time to sign-up

As we mark Volunteers’ Week June (1-7), I wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate the outstanding volunteers whose dedication and commitment are vital to the work of RNID. Their time, skills and compassion make a real difference to the 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Through our community activities across the UK, around 600 incredible RNID volunteers take part in a diverse range of activities, helping us make life fully inclusive for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. Our dedicated volunteers not only provide hearing aid maintenance, information on hearing loss and tinnitus at our RNID Near You drop-in sessions across the country.

This Volunteers’ Week, we’re inviting anyone who wants to make a valuable difference to sign up to volunteer with us by visiting rnid.org.uk/volunteer
