Help us offer a free, in-person drop-in service for people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus, or want to get their hearing checked.
RNID Near You volunteers do 6 main activities to help us make life fully inclusive for deaf people and people with hearing loss and tinnitus.
You don't have to do all 6 of these activities - you can pick the activities you find most interesting and match your skills and experience.
Enthusiasm and a willingness to be part of the volunteer team and demonstrate RNID values.
You will receive a full induction and training so you feel prepared and confident before your first session. You will also get our volunteer handbook and volunteering policies to refer to.
You’ll be assigned a supervisor who will provide ongoing support and we’ll also introduce you to our community of volunteers.
