Hearing Dogs - Fun walk Royston

This weekend Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is calling on dog lovers to take part in a special anniversary walk as the organisation celebrates 30 years of changing the lives of deaf people.

The charity hopes walkers from across the region will head to Wimpole Hall to take part in ‘Come Walkies’ – a three-and-a-half mile walk open to all the family.

The event will form part of about a dozen other walks which will be held across the UK in September and October in celebration of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People’s 30th anniversary.

The Wimpole Hall Come Walkies will take place on Sunday at 8.30am.

To sign up for the walk visit the hearing dogs website
