Rotary and Lions Clubs

Deafness Research UK welcomes support from Rotary and Lions Clubs to help fund crucial areas of our work, making a lasting difference to the lives of people with hearing impairments.

One in seven of the UK population has a hearing disability. Deaf babies face a lifetime struggling to communicate; the elderly can become isolated from friends and family. Deafness Research UK works towards advances in scientific and medical research, to ensure that one day all forms of hearing disability will be overcome.

Deafness Research UK receives no government funds, so we rely solely on voluntary support to help safeguard the future of our research.

Your support will help bring in the brightest young scientists into the field of hearing research, fund crucial areas of our work and make a lasting difference to the lives of people with hearing impairments.

How you can get involved

We would welcome your club to be involved with Deafness Research UK and to make a lasting impact on your local community. Here is what we can do to help you:

• Fundraising support: Our small and friendly team will be available to help you develop fundraising ideas or we can send you our personal fundraising pack. We can also provide you with t-shirts, collection tins, literature or other materials to support you with your efforts.
• Speakers: We can provide a speaker for your group to talk about what we do at Deafness Research UK and the latest research work we are funding.
• Learning opportunities: At your request, we can provide a free hearing check for all your members and our Information and Outreach Adviser will be happy to give information and advice on hearing loss conditions.
  
• PR opportunities: Our PR consultancy team can help raise awareness of your charitable activities and the profile of your group in the local press and media.
