A SAUNDERTON based charity has been nominated for an award in recognition of its support and campaigning for deaf people.
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People trains dogs to assist those with hearing difficulties in every day life to gain independence, confidence and security.
It also continually campaigns on behalf of their deaf members by educating the wider public about the issues faced by deaf people.
The charity in Wycombe Road, Saunderton has been named as one of four organisations short-listed for Organisational Achievement at the 2011 Signature Annual Awards.
Jim Edwards, chief executive of Signature, said: “The provision of a hearing dog can change the life of an individual, helping them to engage better with society and grow in independence and self-esteem.
“However the charity’s wider work speaking on behalf of their members to achieve a society in which all deaf and deafblind people have full access is truly inspirational.”
The winners of the 2011 Signature Annual Awards will be announced during an awards ceremony in London on Friday, November 18.
