Hearing Dogs for Deaf People Campus Visit

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People are delighted to come to York University, to give an opportunity for students to meet Hearing Dogs and their handlers, and learn more about the charity. Hopefully this will also bring light relief from revision and exams! There’s nothing like a wet nose and waggy tail to de-stress!

                             

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People have two training centres in England, one in North Yorkshire, just outside Pocklington, the other in Buckinghamshire. Hearing Dogs not only alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds, such as smoke alarms, doorbells, and oven timers, they also provide lots of love, companionship and emotional support to their deaf partners, helping them to leave loneliness behind. There are over 1200 Hearing Dog partnerships in the country, and it is hoped to train another 200 dogs this year. However, the charity needs more volunteers to come forward to home the dogs while they are in training. If you are interested, visit the Hearing Dog website or contact them directly on volunteer@hearingdogs.org.uk or 01844 348129.
