The Ear Foundation, Nottingham

The Ear Foundation bridges the gap between clinic-based services, where today’s exciting hearing technologies, such as cochlear implants & bone conducting hearing implants are fitted, and home, school and work where they are used in daily life.

All deaf children, young people and adults have the opportunity to hear, communicate and develop spoken language using the latest technological interventions including hearing aids, cochlear implants, bone conducting hearing implants and assistive devices such as FM Systems.

The photography workshop with Imaging Partnership was organised to support the Foundation’s family programme: Connect & Communicate where parents could get clicking with the camera as well as their children.

Tim said

“The workshop was huge success for everyone involved. I was made very welcome by Lorna Lord, the Director of Education and her team. We were supported by a willing group of volunteers who all deserve much credit for the wonderful photographic results of the day and the wellbeing and safety of all involved.

“The students and their parents really got into the spirit of the day which was all about creating effective photographs. We focused on portraits, architecture, and perspective of every combination. The day was great fun, and everyone went home with some great shots.

“The students really delved into their creativity and some produced really outstanding work. I did have to speak slowly for the inclusion of a signing volunteer and we had designed the workshop plan to meet the needs of students with limited or no hearing. It was a fantastic experience and I look forward to a further opportunity of working with the great community at The Ear Foundation.”
