Chime was originally established as the National Association for Deaf back in 1964. It is a great testimony to the original founders, who’s vision of promoting a better life and a better society for people who are Deaf or have a Hearing Loss, that this organisation has stood the test of time and is still as relevant now as it was almost 60 years ago.



We deliver on our strategic goals through our 3 core services which include; Care Services, Technology Services, Advice & Information Services. Inaddition to our services, we drive awareness of key issues through our campaigns and advocacy work. Our values drive us forward and are central to our culture. We are committed to achieving high level of financial governance, reporting and transparency of how we operate.   I sincerely hope that you find your experience with Chime, whether in person or on our website, to reflect our values. 

Our Mission

To limit the impact of deafness and hearing loss through promoting accessibility, creating supportive communities, and enabling personal choice and community participation.

Our Vision

A society with no limits or barriers for anyone living with deafness or hearing loss.



Chime has a societal role in breaking down barriers to inclusion and self-determination for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. We are dedicated to creating a society where deafness or hearing loss does not hold back individual potential, personal choice or quality of life. We strive to achieve this through our range of personal support services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people and through our advocacy work and awareness campaigns.
