Campaigning

Our volunteers help us in a wide variety of ways: they provide support and assistance for people with hearing loss, help fit and maintain equipment, train other volunteers, and take part in campaigns or fundraising events.

Care and support

Through our services we offer a wide range of support to help people who are deaf, have a hearing loss or deafblind with additional needs. Volunteers support the service we provide to people in our own residential homes, supported housing schemes and in their own homes.

Employee volunteering

We can design opportunities for your employees to give some of their time to Action on Hearing Loss. These may be ongoing commitments, or a one-off team building challenge. If you are looking to develop one of your members of staff, our employee volunteering scheme can make use of their existing skills and develop new ones. Contact volunteering@hearingloss.org.uk to discuss your requirements.

Fundraising

As a charity we rely heavily on voluntary income to help fund the work we do. Why not take part in a challenge event, such as running a marathon or trekking the Great Wall of China. Or run a local event for us. Volunteers make a valuable contribution to our fund raising.

Products and equipment

Working closely with local authorities and other organisations we provide community-based equipment services to all people with a hearing loss. Volunteers help us in this work by offering support to new hearing aid users, maintaining equipment and offering advice.

Outreach and equipment services

Our regional communications and information team provide information to a wide range of people, as well as promoting the full range of Action on Hearing Loss services including campaigns and membership. Our volunteers help with distributing information leaflets, supporting exhibitions and events and giving talks to community groups.

Other opportunities

If you have time to spare during the day, we can make use of your skills. This could be in administration, helping us in our head office in London, updating our databases or assisting a care home manager with the paperwork required to run a well-organised home. If you have a training background then we could use your talents to deliver our flexible training programme to our volunteers.
