The Speech, Language and Hearing Foundation

The Speech, Language and Hearing Foundation (SLHF) provides grants, generally for under £20,000, to small national and local UK registered charities working in the UK and/or overseas. The Foundation supports organizations that promote the education and relieve the needs of children who suffer from difficulties with hearing, speech, language or communication or who have complex needs. The Foundation concentrates its funding on small national or local charities working in three main areas: supporting children who have hearing impairment, speech delay, language or communication difficulties, or who have complex needs; medical innovation and new developments relating to these children; and research in all topics relating to these children. The Foundation's Trustees are unlikely to support large national charities which enjoy wide support, preferring to focus resources on smaller organizations. The useful results of any research funded must be published. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with no closing date.
