Hearing Dogs for Deaf People Nearly nine million of the UK population experience some degree of hearing loss. That’s one person in every seven. Over 650,000 of these people are severely or profoundly deaf and could benefit from a hearing dog. Hearing dogs change lives. They alert their deaf owners to sounds we take for granted, providing greater independence, confidence and security. Most are selected from rescue centres or donated as unwanted pets. http://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/ - Details |

Sophie Cameron Trust
In 1999, Sophie Cameron, who was a seventeen-year-old schoolgirl, was diagnosed with Encephalitis Lethargica(EL). She spent nine months in hospital, three of them in intensive care, and although she survived the illness, she was left severely disabled. The Sophie Cameron Trust was established in 2001 by the many friends of the Cameron family, in order to do something positive to help Sophie. The Cameron family generously agreed to allow Sophie's name to be used by the Trust. The Trust committee soon realised, however, that the "bigger picture" needed to be addressed. Not only Sophie, but also others with EL might need assistance, and would be in a position to benefit from developments and opportunities arising from progress in medical and scientific research.
