Deaf Awareness Week

On Monday 1st May I shall be running a stall in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf
People in the Market Square/High St at Leighton Buzzard. I will be helped
by my friend Janet who is a Hearing Dog recipiant and she will have her
Hearing Dog Gypsy with her. The event (May Fayre) will run from 10 am to 4
pm.

Two Thousand Years on Tuesday 2 May at 7.30pm. Booking opens 7th March.

In his first stage play for over a decade, Mike Leigh explores, in a gentle tragi-comic way, a wide range of issues, including politics, religion, identity and the vexed question of Israel and the Middle East.

There are a series of exhibition and open days taking place either at one of our Hearing centres or at hotel across the country.

This is an opportunity to check on the health of your hearing, learn about new technology and get advice whether it’s for you a friend or relative.

At these events there is also an opportunity to have a full hearing consultation, however these are by appointment only and so it’s advisable to pre-book as they are generally very popular.

To pre-register at full hearing assessment at any of the exhibitions or open days then the number you should call is: 0800 731 6499.

Mobile Hearing Unit, Library Car park, Heriot Road, Chertsey (next door to the Riverbourne Leisure Centre)

The event will be opened by Mr John Cummings MP. A Presentation by Tees Valley and Durham Communication support will make aware the valuable communication service now available to Deaf deafened and hard of hearing people with more speakers yet to confirm.

Communication support will be facilities by Palantype, lip-speaker and a BSL interpreter.
