Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
The local branch of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People has now been in existence for just over a year. Our objectives are to raise money for the charity (which receives no government funding whatsoever) and to raise awareness of the work of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
There are many ways in which we can come into local communities and raise awareness. For example, we can supply speakers for schools, cub, scout, brownie and guide groups, which can help with young peoples’ perception of disability and ways of overcoming problems that are faced on a regular basis. We can also supply speakers for local groups such as WIs, Rotary Clubs etc and also for corporate events.
People can help us in many ways; for example, you could join our small committee of volunteers or maybe you could spare a couple of hours on an ad hoc basis by holding your own fundraising event such as Paws for Coffee (we can provide support materials), manning a stall for a couple of hours - all offers of help will be warmly welcomed. Also, if you are planning a local event where we could attend with our information leaflets and merchandise please let us know.
Currently we are in the early stages of planning a sponsored dog walk, which will be held in Milton Country Park in October. If you would like to help us make this event a huge success please let us know as we will need helpers on the day. Further details of the dog walk will be sent out later in the summer.
If you have questions about the work of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People or would like to offer to help please do not hesitate to contact me.
