Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This page is for entry for a chance to win a Signed Welsh Rugby Shirt (2021) prize draw to support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Only £5 per entry into the draw, and all money will go directly to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (See details below on how to enter).

Hallam Amos, who plays for the 2021 Six Nations winning Welsh rugby team, has kindly donated a Welsh Rugby Shirt signed by all the members of the winning team to his grandfather, Roy Stainton, to raise money for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Roy is the Treasurer of the South Hants Hearing Dogs fundraising committee. Roy has been involved with Hearing Dogs for many many years, and I would like to help him raise as much as we can for a fantastic charity. Hearing dogs help deaf people to leave loneliness behind, by having their best friend by their side. The 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. 
There are so many little costs that all add up when training one of these amazing animals to become life-changing companions. The cost to train and support each dog throughout their lifetime is £45,000.

I have my hearing dog called Albert, and he is absolutely amazing and so clever, and I don't know what I would do without him. He has given me the confidence to achieve things that I wouldn't have done without him. He has changed my life totally, and he has made me a more confident person, he has made me visible! He’s my ears, my best friend, my companion, my whole world and I love him to bits. It’s all thanks to Hearing Dogs, it is a fantastic charity.

Hearing Dogs receive no central government funding which means that they rely on amazing supporters, sponsorships and fundraising to finance the fantastic work that they do.

Only £5 per entry. All money will go directly to Hearing Dogs, to help them train life-changing hearing dogs to help deaf people, like Albert with me
