We have got together a Team of Volunteers who are raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and also to honour Ambassador Abney who retired earlier this year

This October, We are taking part in The Great British Dog Walk in honour of Ambassador Abney who retired after 11 years of promoting the work of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Every mile we walk, and every pound we raise, will help Hearing Dogs for Deaf People provide practical support services for those with hearing loss and train more life-changing hearing dogs for people that need them.

Hearing dogs are highly trained to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as the smoke alarm, alarm clocks and even intruder alarms and baby monitors. They also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support, which is really important as many deaf people can feel lonely and isolated.

The average lifetime cost of a hearing dog is £70,000. This includes breeding, training, applicant support, placement and ongoing partnership support, through to retirement and succession planning. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.
