The Gisborne Hearing Association closed in 2016 after nearly 70 years advocating for and assisting those with hearing impairments. The Association’s work continues through the Hearing Assistance Fund at Sunrise, which was established with the residue funds of the long running association.
The Sunrise Hearing Assistance Fund invites applications for grants from individuals who are hearing impaired and organisations that are involved in education or projects which help hearing impaired people.
Applications are considered quarterly
