Volunteer with RNID - 'Near You' volunteers

Support Deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus in Cornwall!

We are particularly looking for volunteers in the Launceston area to help with a new group based in the Launceston Health Hub. For more information about the group at the Health Hub, please contact Andi at andi@launceston-tc.gov.uk

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. 

Our volunteers are instrumental in delivering nationwide support and information to people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. Their stories show what they gain from the experience, too.

• You could help with fixing hearing aids, giving information or performing quick hearing checks.
• Become a volunteer with us and make a big difference in your local community!

What you’ll be doing

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.

What you’ll get in return

As a volunteer, you will:

• make a real difference to the people you support
• help us run this important service
• receive training and learn new skills
• meet people in different situations
• raise awareness of deafness in the community
• have reasonable, out-of-pocket and pre-approved travel expenses repaid.
