A DRIFFIELD business is making a sound donation to the Hearing Dogs for Deaf People charity to coincide with Deaf Awareness Week.
The Hearing Company, which operates from Scrivens on Middle Street South, Driffield, will donate £20 for every hearing aid sold throughout the week which runs until May 7.
Branch manager Sue Buck said: "We work closely with those suffering from hearing loss and have a natural link to this charity.
"We hope to raise as much money as possible towards funding the training of more hearing dogs."
Children visiting the branch will also have the opportunity to draw a picture of their own dog or one they would like to own.
The shop will display the entries and the winner of the competition will receive a colouring kit.
Sue said: "We hope this will serve as an additional fundraiser for the charity, as parents of those children joining in can make a small donation."
The charity's head of fundraising Peter Hutchins said Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to alert deaf people to specific sounds in the home, workplace or public buildings, making life much more manageable and less isolated.
He added: "We receive no government or lottery funding so are always grateful for donations as training each dog costs thousands of pounds.
"I would like to thank The Hearing Company for its generous contribution and ongoing support."
