Our Impact 2019-2020

Welcome
The last 12 months have seen us take big steps forward in our mission.
I was particularly pleased to spearhead our work towards finding a cure
for tinnitus. In August, we published a highly regarded research paper
identifying the barriers to finding a cure and what needs to be done next.
We then backed this up by launching our own research fund and using
our Tinnitus Manifesto to lobby the Government for increased funding into
tinnitus research. Over 100,000 people signed our petition!
We have completed the second year of our project to assess the
social value of our work. The independent review found that for every
£1 invested in BTA services, we delivered an incredible £12.72 return
on investment, which is a huge achievement.
Being successful in our application for a significant grant from the
National Lottery Community Fund’s Digital Fund was also a major
success, allowing us to become digitally fit for the future, to better meet
your needs and to support more people than ever before.
The positive impact we have on the lives of people living with tinnitus
would simply not be possible without the support of all our funders and
donors. We are extremely grateful and I would like to extend my personal
gratitude for this generosity.
Looking to 2020-21, we cannot ignore the impact that the Covid-19
pandemic will have on all of us and on the future of the BTA.
Whilst we are confident of surviving the immediate crisis,
it is impossible to think that the BTA will remain
unaffected in the mid-term.
Our Vision
We want a world where no one suffers
from tinnitus.
Our Values
Our Mission
To drive progress towards a cure
and deliver excellent support to help
people living with tinnitus.
Those living with tinnitus will always be at
the heart of what we do and I am immensely
proud that we have adapted to ensure that
all of our services continue to be available,
despite such challenging circumstances.
I remain optimistic about what the future
holds for the tinnitus community and
the BTA.
