Let’s start with the name: Heard. Because our ethos lives in our name.

Heard is a charity working with people and the media to inspire content and communication that changes hearts and minds.

We all know that being heard matters. On a fundamental level, good communication means being heard and feeling heard. And good communication is transformative. It can shift perspectives, and move conversations – and society – forward.

Therefore, in a world that can feel loud, divided and awash with misunderstanding, our work is making sure we can hear each other.

It’s about finding common ground on big, important issues. Connecting people. Growing understanding. Check out our core programmes focussed on issues such as climate change, poverty, domestic abuse, transgender experiences, migration and children’s palliative care.

Our name also reflects how we centre and support people whose stories need to be heard at scale.

This is our big mission. Join us!
