I am raising money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People by participating in The Big Summer of Fundraising to celebrate my retirement.

Every penny I raise will help more life-changing pup's-in-training who will one day transform a deaf person’s life.

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.

It costs £25,000 to fully train an accredited hearing dog, so The Big Summer of Fundraising is a great way to raise funds to train more dogs. Any donation, however large or small, will really help.

Thank you.
