Christmas shopping getting too much?... Paws for coffee

THE hustle and bustle of packed High Streets, the indecision of which presents to buy, the tedious queues to pay for gifts, not to mention the last minute food shop—Christmas shopping can be quite a stressful experience.

That’s why Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is encouraging people to ‘Paws for coffee’ this Christmas and help raise funds so that the charity can provide the invaluable gift of independence, confidence and companionship to more deaf people.

Getting together with family, friends or work colleagues and holding a fund-raising coffee event is not only a relaxing and fun thing to do, at a notoriously busy time of the year, it also helps the charity to train more hearing dogs to alert their deaf owner’s to household sounds and danger signals such as the doorbell, alarm clock and smoke alarm in the home, at work and in public buildings.

You can ‘Paws for coffee’ whenever it suits you.

Whether it’s a leisurely mid-morning event, a welcome end to a day’s shopping or just a quick coffee at work, anyone and everyone can join in.

It doesn’t matter if you raise, £5, £50 or £500—every penny helps us to transform the lives of more deaf people.

A free supporter pack containing everything you need to make the most of your ‘Paws for coffee’ event, including invitations and recipes and many exciting ideas to use such as how to cook Flapjack Russells or Springer Spaniel Sponges, is available by calling 01844 348136 or email [email protected].

Hearing Dogs receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of members of the public, trusts and companies to continue its important work.
