An hour of silence to help charity
A charity is hosting a sponsored silence to mark World Hearing Day.
Wednesday is World Hearing Day and Signal is challenging people in Shropshire to a sponsored one-hour silence.
The challenge is mainly aimed at school-aged children in their last week of home-schooling, whose parents may appreciate an hour of peace, but adults are encouraged to join in as well.
Signal is based in Shropshire and supports people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus across the UK and globally.
Since 2013 Signal has directly supported over 94,000 people (42,784 people internationally and 51,250 people in UK).
In the last year, they have supported 1,992 children with disabilities to access education and trained 734 teachers to provide an inclusive learning environment.
Their newly appointed trustee, Stuart Danks, who is director of DM Recruitment, has kicked off the fundraising event with his whole team signed up for the sponsored silence.
He said: “I hope children and adults across the land can spare an hour to complete the World Hearing Day challenge.”
