THE Saffron Walden and District fundraising branch of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is joining hundreds of people across the UK hosting ‘Paws for Coffee’ events in aid of the charity.
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People launched its national coffee morning initiative last year and has raised �35,000 so far to train more dogs to help deaf people.
The latest Paws for Coffee will take place between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday (September 25) at The Cock, Watling Street, Thaxted.
An admission charge of �2.50 includes tea or coffee and home made cake. Hearing Dogs merchandise, including Christmas cards, will be available to purchase. Everyone is welcome.
Branch organiser Yvonne Reynoldson said “My mother started to lose her hearing in her twenties which led to her becoming withdrawn and depressed. Hearing Dogs can help restore the confidence that this invisible disability takes away. I wanted to make others aware of this and raise funds to train more of these dogs.”
Paws for Coffee co-ordinator and national events manager for the charity, Ruth Dunkin, said: “We’re extremely grateful to everyone who has hosted a Paws for Coffee on our behalf.
