Pioneering impact report launched by RNID
RNID, the largest charity representing the nine million people in the UK who are deaf or hard of hearing, is once again at the cutting-edge of impact reporting by presenting its results for 2007/08 online through a specially designed, web portal. RNID's aims and impact for 2007/08 have been web integrated and are accessible through video, case studies, text, photography and sign language. A keyword search function will make results available to all web users and allow stakeholders to access results by area of interest. The charity first introduced impact reporting to the sector in 2001 and hope the new format will provide even greater transparency of results and a more meaningful illustration of impact to a wider audience. Brian Lamb, RNID Director of Policy and Advocacy, said: "This is not an online version of a printed report. The multimedia environment allows people to get right to heart of what is important to them. A charity needs to be fully accountable to each and every stakeholder and demonstrate the impact it makes on people's lives." RNID has a great deal to report. In the key priority area of audiology RNID has been actively involved in the draft NICE recommendations to put an end to the postcode lottery for cochlear implants. It intended to help 150 people who are deaf or hard of hearing into secure and sustainable work - a target it has reached - and has developed an active local community presence of 2000 volunteers working on 25 projects across the UK. All videos are subtitled and transcribed for accessibility and selected aims and impacts are available in BSL. For more information go online or contact RNID's Information Line on 0808 808 0123 (freephone) or 0808 808 9000 (textphone) or email nformationline@rnid.org.uk RNID impact at www.rnid.org.uk/impact.
