Heard

Who we are

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.

Our culture and values

Heard values that we strive to be: 

Patient, creative, determined, brave, inclusive, thoughtful

We value team interaction, collaboration, and feedback. Being Heard is central to our beliefs and practice for our team!

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are an equal opportunities employer.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service and following practices which are free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We want to ensure that no applicant or member of staff receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be relevant to performance. We seek also to ensure that no person is victimised or subjected to any form of bullying or harassment.

We value people as individuals with diverse opinions, cultures, lifestyles and
circumstances.
