Take a look at the official website and get in touch with jo@earfoundation.org.uk for more information and to register for a place.
Sunday 19 September – Wollaton Park Walk
Following the success of last year's Hear, Talk & Walk events around the UK, one of our parents has volunteered to organise a similar event at Wollaton Park in Nottingham on 19th September.
If you are interested in coming along, get in touch with Richard Lord either by emailing him on thelords@sky.com or phone 07887 572240.
The event is hoped to bring families of profoundly deaf children and adults together on a short 5k walk around the picturesque Wollaton Park, and afterwards enjoy a picnic, or simply use the facilites the Park offers - all are welcome to come along.
For further details contact Richard or Jo.
Friday 3 December – Christmas Ball
Another of our Annual events is The Ear Foundation Christmas Ball.
In its beautiful surroundings, Prestwold Hall, nr Loughborough, has a wonderful ambience particularly at Christmas time, with its fine quality food and service – it seems to get better each year.
If you would be interested in attending this year, contact jo@earfoundation.org.uk
