What's happening in Northern Ireland

RNID Northern Ireland represents the 219,000 deaf and hard of hearing people who live in Northern Ireland, as well as their families and others who work with them or for their benefit. Our staff and volunteers offer a wide range of services, including communication, advice and information, care and employment services. We campaign in many areas and act to raise awareness of deafness in the country.

We have been working in Northern Ireland since 1991.
