Hear for Norfolk: Supporting People with Hearing Loss

We recently had the pleasure of meeting some of the incredible team at Hear for Norfolk, a charitable company founded in 1898.

Based in Thorpe St Andrew in Norwich, Hear for Norfolk is the working name for Norfolk Deaf Association whose work aims to improve the lives of young people and adults of all ages in Norfolk with all degrees of hearing loss.

Hear for Norfolk provide personal, emotional and practical support, including hearing aid maintenance, ear wax removal, information on hearing loss and training for organisations and businesses looking to provide more support for their customers and employees.

The charity’s core services include:

Aural Care Services – expert, professional ear wax removal using microsuction (£50 fee, ages 10 & over) & ear otoscopy to screen for ear health issues

Adult Audiology – NHS-funded hearing tests and assessments for people aged 50+ with age-related hearing loss

Hearing Support Services – hearing aid maintenance, repairs & fitting for NHS-issued hearing aids

Many of their services are free of charge and patients can either be referred by their GP or can self-refer to get help with their hearing health and wellbeing as soon as possible (provided that they are registered with Medical Practices in the Central Locality of Norfolk & Waveney ICB).

The team also runs mobile community clinics visiting several Norfolk towns and villages, to provide Aural Care & Hearing Support Services (on an appointment only basis).

Did you know? Around one-third of adults over the age of 65 have some degree of hearing loss. It can impair quality of life by causing loneliness, social isolation, loss of independence, frustration, cognitive decline and communication issues.

If you would like to make an appointment with Hear for Norfolk for their Audiology Services, please visit https://www.hearfornorfolk.org.uk/ email audiology@hearfornorfolk.org.uk or call 01603 404440

Hear for Norfolk are also looking for volunteers, trustees and fundraisers – please visit https://www.hearfornorfolk.org.uk/supporting-us/ for more information.

Club Together Norfolk fundraising event September 2017

The Club Together Norfolk cycle riders are getting ready for a very special event!

Starting on Friday 8th September 2017, the 80+ team of riders are on a quest to visit every rugby club in Norfolk over three days. Ahead of them lies over 320 miles of open roads (during which they may realise that Norfolk is not as quite as flat as its reputation suggests!)

Over the three days, the club will be riding approximately 100 miles each day to raise an amazing amount of money.

The rugby-themed cycling event intends to achieve three objectives:

  • Raise a life-changing amount of money for community based charities

  • Create friendships and foster camaraderie across the rugby community

  • Promote healthy lifestyles and have fun!

The main charity the team will be fundraising for will be Wooden Spoon, which is the children’s charity of rugby. Their mission statement is “to positively transform the lives of children and young people with a disability or facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland through the power of rugby.”

Find out more about Wooden Spoon at https://woodenspoon.org.uk/

Supporting Anxiety UK

AUK picWe’re proud supporters of Anxiety UK and like to ‘do our bit’ by helping out their Communications team however and whenever we can! For the last few years, we’ve been providing a proofreading service to assist with the publication of their quarterly magazine, Anxious Times.  We’re pleased to add that we’re now also offering support with their social media profiles on Twitter and Facebook!

Although a charity relying on generous donations, Anxiety UK provides an unrivalled support service to those suffering from anxiety and related disorders such as panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and a range of phobias. Their website and telephone service provide a lifeline for those who are deeply affected by debilitating feelings such as intense fear and distress:

“Anxiety UK receives more than 15,000 calls to the helpline and requests for support via email each year and more than 30,000 new visitors to their website a month. Since 1970, the charity has provided essential support to more than 1 million people throughout the UK.”

AUK volunteers are mostly healthcare professionals or those with direct experience of an anxiety disorder, which enables them to offer a uniquely personal advice service for anyone who is experiencing anxious thoughts and feelings or if they’ve just been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder by their GP.

The AUK team works tirelessly to provide a wellbeing support service for thousands of people across the UK and we wanted to show our support too. Lots of people choose to run a marathon or jump from a plane to raise money for their charity but to be honest, we’re just not that brave! (and hats off to those who are!) Instead, we’ve chosen to offer whatever skills we can to an organisation which has the best interests of its members at its heart; strives continuously to raise awareness of anxiety and reminds us that we can all do a little something extra to support each other through difficult periods.

This new League Football Match Reporter seems familiar…..

Ah, Northern League football. We don’t hear much about it down here in East Anglia but I have a feeling that’s about to change….

Ever heard of Blyth Spartans AFC? Ok, here’s a quick overview……

“Blyth Spartans AFC are a semi-professional football club who play in the Conference North, and are based in the town of Blyth, Northumberland, England. They are often the most Northerly team in whichever league or cup they are playing in and are managed by Tommy Cassidy.”

So. Why are we interested? Because they’ve just recruited a brand new Match Reporter who happens to be talented blog writer, Mark Carruthers.

On 17th July 2012,  Blyth Spartans travelled to Northern League side Ashington AFC in their opening friendly of the 2012/13 season.  Read Mark’s full match report here.

We’re delighted to support Mark, who is an aspiring sports journalist with a talent for writing insightful and intelligent articles relating to the Beautiful Game and also the mighty Newcastle United FC.

A proud North East lad and a long-standing NUFC season ticket holder, Mark works full-time, writes several blogs and gets involved in a variety of fundraising events for charity. He’s also mad enough to be tacking The Three Peaks Challenge in 2013 to raise money for Parkinson’s UK & the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Join us in supporting Mark & following his progress:

The 3 Peaks Challenge 2013: we know a man who can…..

Mad but true; our friend Mark Carruthers (he of top football blogs “Sing in the Cheap Seats” & “Over the Wall”) is doing the legendary Three Peaks Challenge in March 2013. He’s actually going to climb Mount Snowdon in Wales, Scafell in the Lakes and Ben Nevis in Scotland in three days…….. His aim (apart from showing off) is to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and Parkinson’s UK, both of which are causes close to his heart. He’s created a couple of Just Giving Pages so all you lovely generous folk can donate if you think it’s a worthy cause. I know we do, so we’ll be sponsoring & promoting him as much as possible!

Small as well as large donations all gratefully received via the Just Giving pages!

For more details visit Mark’s WordPress page here: http://onebigchallenge.wordpress.com/

Our first sponsorship deal!

Enigmedia Marketing has now become the new sponsor of the Sportsmans Dinners UK Travel Club web page!

“Sportsmans Dinners UK are delighted to be able to offer you the chance to go to various Newcastle United away matches on a not-profit basis.  All costs are split evenly on the hire of the buses and not a single penny is made by ourselves.  We want to provide a service for loyal supporters and ensure that costs are kept to a minimum.  On Saturday 28th January 2012 we made our first venture to Brighton for the FA Cup 4th Round tie at their new AMEX Stadium and the journey, whilst long was a massive success.  Plans are being made for some away games for the rest of the season and payments can be made through our Paypal site.”

Kevin & Mark are two proud North East lads who have started up SDUK with a view to raising as much money as possible for deserving charities in their local region by holding Charity Dinners and Auctions.  They are passionate about what they do and whilst they work full-time in other jobs they’re always available for the charity they’re working on behalf of and will go the extra mile to ensure they raise as much as possible.
