UK Veterans Hearing Foundation is proud to share that we have been recognised as the Best Veterans Hearing Support Charity 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards, presented by AI Global Media. This national recognition reflects the work we carry out every day to support veterans living with hearing loss, ensuring they are not left to struggle in silence. For the veterans we serve, this award represents more than recognition; it stands as a reminder that their needs are being seen, understood, and supported with care.
A Recognition Rooted in Real Impact
This award holds real meaning because it is based on a merit-led research and evaluation process, where charities are assessed on the strength of their work and the impact they create. For the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation, this recognition is not about a single moment or achievement, but the consistent support we provide to veterans across the UK.
Every hearing assessment, every fitting, and every follow-up appointment is part of a wider commitment to improving quality of life. Veterans come to us facing challenges with communication, confidence, and connection, and our role is to support them through each stage with practical, personalised care. This award reflects those outcomes. It reflects clearer conversations, renewed independence, and the ability for veterans to stay connected to the people and moments that matter most.

Supporting Veterans Beyond Hearing Loss
Hearing loss does not sit on its own; for many veterans, it affects everyday conversations, time spent with family, and the confidence to engage in social situations. Simple moments such as following a conversation in a busy room or hearing clearly during a phone call begin to feel difficult, and over time, this can lead to withdrawal and isolation.
At the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation, we understand that the impact goes far beyond the ear. Many veterans come to us after struggling to find the right support, often feeling unheard or unsure where to turn next. Our role is to step in with care that is not only clinical but also personal, and we take the time to listen, understand individual needs, and provide tailored hearing solutions that help restore confidence and connection.
What This Award Means for the Veterans We Support
This recognition belongs as much to the veterans we support as it does to the charity itself. Each journey, each improvement, and each moment of regained clarity contribute to what this award represents. It reflects the trust veterans place in us and the progress they make when given the right support. And for those who have experienced the difference that better hearing can bring, this award is a reminder that their experiences matter. It highlights the importance of continued support and reinforces that the work being done is making a genuine difference in people’s lives. It is not only about recognition, but about the reassurance that the support they receive is valued and recognised at a national level.
Continued Commitment to Those Who Served
While this award marks an important milestone, our focus remains on the work ahead. We will continue to support veterans with the same level of care, attention and dedication that has brought us to this point. Our aim is to reach more individuals who may still be living with untreated hearing loss and ensure they have access to the support they need. Our team at the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation remain committed to providing ongoing care, from initial assessments through to long-term follow-up, so that every veteran feels supported at every stage of their hearing journey. This recognition strengthens our commitment and reinforces our purpose to continue serving those who have served us.
Looking Ahead to the Official Announcement
The award will be formally announced in July 2026 as part of the UK Enterprise Awards, hosted on the SME News platform. With a wide audience reach and strong annual readership, this announcement will help us raise further awareness of the importance of hearing support for veterans across the UK.
We are deeply honoured to receive the Best Veterans Hearing Support Charity 2026 award from the UK Enterprise Awards. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team, the strength of our partnerships, and most importantly, the resilience of the veterans we serve.
At the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation, our mission has always been to ensure that no veteran faces hearing loss alone. This award strengthens our commitment to continue expanding access to life-changing hearing support across the UK.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our journey. This achievement belongs to all of you.Mrs Chloe Knott- CEO, UK Veterans Hearing Foundation
This award marks an important moment for the UK Veterans Hearing Foundation, but our purpose remains unchanged. We continue to stand alongside veterans, offering support that helps them reconnect with the world around them. Every conversation restored, every moment heard clearly, and every life improved continues to guide the work we do each day.
