Changing Lives: Hearing Dogs for Deaf People 

Hi, I'm Martin Peagam and I'm the Community Fundraising Manager (North East) for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. At Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, our aim is to help deaf people leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life. We breed and train Hearing Dogs, who change the lives of deaf adults and children across the UK

I will be talking about how deafness affects people, and how Hearing Dogs transform the lives of people, including insights into how the dogs are bred, trained, and matched with deaf people.
