UK Veterans' Hearing Foundation
|
Donate your pre-loved event wear to help this charity
|
UK Veterans Hearing Foundation is a registered charity that has helped in excess of 2000 Veterans from all branches of the Armed Forces since it was established over three years ago. Its outreach continues to grow.
The charity works with independent reputable audiologists throughout the UK to support veterans in achieving a better way of life and, most importantly, in providing top of the range hearing devices which they supply free of charge.
Their core aim is to support veterans suffering hearing loss, which they believe can also help in relieving pressure on the NHS. Additionally, they help veterans get back into work, training, or volunteering and achieve a happier lifestyle.
In order to carry out all of its great work, the charity needs to raise funding and seek support. If you would like to get in touch, please email info@veteranshearing.org.uk.
Areas in which support is required are as follows:
- Donation of clothes: For their online events-wear shop
- Donation of pre-loved hearing aids
- Donations via their website and Just Giving
