The Branch has a number of speakers who travel all over Hertfordshire and the adjoining counties giving illustrated talks to groups. We are happy to visit any sort of organisation, from Rainbows, Beavers and Schools to Women's Institutes, Rotary Clubs, Church Groups and Help the Aged lunch clubs.

We always try to make sure that every visit is accompanied by a working Hearing Dog but sadly, as they are all working dogs, they are not allowed to demonstrate. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People have invested a lot of time and money in training the dog to a very high standard and attempting to use a working dog for demonstration purposes can affect the dog's confidence and undo all the hard work. However all Hearing Dogs are very sociable and love being made a fuss of.

The speakers are of course always happy to answer questions.

Would you like a speaker for your School, Club or Organisation? Would you like a visit by a Hearing Dog? Do you meet in Hertfordshire or anywhere not too far from the boundaries of Hertfordshire, for example, North London, Middlesex or South Bedfordshire?

For more information and to book a speaker please contact the Speaker secretary on 01923 445488.

If there is a local branch in your area we will forward your request.
