Yesterday was #WorldHumanitarianDay. We’ve been reflecting on how listening — truly listening — can help us respond to others with care and empathy. Those who help others often carry heavy stories. Listening is one way we can support them too.

What does real listening mean to you?

This #DeafblindAwarenessWeek, we’re highlighting how communication goes beyond speech, sound — even sight.

Hands-on sign language shows us that listening can be felt. It’s about connection, presence, and openness.

Celebrate Deaf Awareness Week with our founder Dame Evelyn Glennie, who is profoundly deaf herself. “Beyond Silence" shows us that deafness is a unique perspective, not a limitation. Let's feel, sense, and interpret sound in new ways. #DeafAwarenessWeek #BeyondSilence #TheEvelynGlennieFoundation

True listening goes beyond sound. Sign language teaches us to see, respect, and value diverse ways of connecting. This Sign Language Week, let’s listen with our eyes, hearts, and minds. Because every gesture holds meaning. #TeachTheWorldToListen #SLW2025 #MoreThanALanguage

The Foundation has been delighted to open its doors to the eminent artist, Johnny Warrender, who is focusing on capturing images related to war and conflict. This Ugandan drum created the sound of the Morse Code on BBC Radio during WW2, played by the late James Blades.
