When We Need You

From 11/05/2009 onwards

About Opportunity

Speakers spread the word to groups and organisations in their local area, following guidelines and principles set by the Charity. The role is an important one as often this is the first time that people will have heard about the wonderful work our dogs do, and how they change the lives of deaf people. As well as promoting the Charity our speakers also help raise much needed funds and encourage others to do the same. Registered Speakers give as much or as little time as they choose to fit in with their own lifestyles. There is no set quota or target – every talk given is a bonus for the Charity – but a good ‘rule of thumb’ is to be able to undertake at least one talk each month. Talk requests passed to a speaker will be within an agreed geographical area and the speaker will confirm the talk at a mutually convenient time with the group. Speakers are also encouraged to promote and organise their own talks with advertising materials provided by the charity. We provide training, any necessary equipment, and on-going support while our speakers deliver the talk, spread the Hearing Dogs’ message and take the applause! **HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?** If you are interested in this opportunity please get in touch with us using the contact details on this page. Alternatively you can register your interest directly using the Register Interest facility.
