Hearing Dogs For Deaf People Fundraiser
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity that trains dogs that help deaf people leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life. The dogs do this through constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them.
Just as importantly, they help by alerting deaf people to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm, alarm clock and oven timers. Their burgundy coats also signal to the public that their partners are deaf. This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely life changing.
The charity also provides a range of other bespoke services which make life easier for anyone who is deaf or has hearing loss, visit the website here for more information.
“Our services help deaf people to leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life. Never has this been more vital than in 2020 when we can all relate to the feeling of isolation, but the decline in face-to-face contact and the need for face coverings make things even harder for people with hearing loss. The charity has had to cancel all its community events since March so this is a great way to help replace lost income and make a huge difference to the lives of deaf people.”
