Who we are

A unique team of experts and volunteers that provide help and advice to the people of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly who live with hearing loss..

Clare Greenwood

Executive Officer

"Every day is a learning day for me, being with d/Deaf people. They are happy to challenge my knowledge and assumptions and I feel that it is a privilege to learn from them. Whilst I am an "annoying" hearing person, I have a passion for this community and will pursue Hearing Loss Cornwall’s mission to make the world more “Deaf Aware!"

Denise Chatfield

Administrator

“I have experience with acute deafness as both my mother and sister suffered from otosclerosis. I have seen first-hand how potentially isolating deafness can be and feel strongly that everything should be done to prevent this, and to promote greater deaf awareness in the hearing community.”

Paul Charlesworth

Finance Officer and Fundraiser

" I am involved with several organisations, but the time I spend helping Hearing Loss Cornwall has raised my awareness of the disability of deafness and its associated challenges. The statistic of one in five adults in Cornwall living with some form of hearing loss is frightening. Therefore, it is essential that we raise the profile of this disability. ”

“If your reflex is everyone feels lonely sometimes, you would be right. But you would also be understating the loneliness we feel.”
