Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

'I talk to my son Nathan about her all the time, as well as my nieces and nephews. They all wish they could have met her: they love that she didn’t put up with any nonsense.' At 21, Tracy Page died because she couldn’t hear her smoke alarm – now her brother campaigns on behalf of @HearingDogs to prevent other deaf people from the same fate ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/real-life/20…

Hearing loss in her 30s ended Elizabeth Falding’s first marriage. Now 79, her life has been transformed by her cocker spaniel Monty. 'Monty has given me back my life, as has this extraordinary charity. It doesn’t just train dogs – it changes lives. And mine is living proof.' This year’s Telegraph Christmas Charity Appeal is supporting @HearingDogs. Read Elizabeth's story below ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/real-life/20…

When the Telegraph Christmas Charity Appeal launched in its current form 40 years ago. Over four decades we’ve supported dozens of charities to raise awareness and crucial funds over the Christmas period. This year, we have chosen four more charities whose work gains a special relevance at this festive time of year; offering connection, support, and a helping hand to those who need it most: Missing People (@missingpeople), Kidney Research UK, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (@HearingDogs) and Little Troopers (@LittleTroopers_) As we come together to celebrate the festive season we must also do our part for the people who sorely need our help to put some joy and cheer back into the world. Every year, you respond to our charity appeal with outstanding generosity. In a message from familiar faces at The Telegraph and beyond, we humbly ask the same of you in 2026.
