HVN is a small national charity whose work is mostly carried out by volunteers (including the trustees). If you hear voices, see visions or have similar sensory experiences – you’re not alone. The statistics vary, but somewhere between 3 and 10% of the population have experiences like these (increasing to about 75% if you include one off experiences like hearing someone call your name out loud). We focus on helping to create respectful and empowering spaces, whilst challenging the inequalities & oppressive practices that hold people back. We share information and free resources through our website, social media, e-bulletin, newsletter and email information service; engage with the media to present realistic and hopeful perspectives on hearing voices and related experiences; offer workshops, training and events – subject to resources; and support members who want to set up a Hearing Voices Group.
