Celebrities go Deaf for the Day   
 Pam St Clement
Initiative raises awareness and funds for Hearing Dogs

Journalists and celebrities including former Eastenders actress Pam St Clement and TV presenter Tim Vincent are going deaf for the day to raise money for charity Hearing Dogs.

They are hoping to raise awareness of the challenges deaf people face, whilst raising funds to allow more people to be helped by hearing dogs.

Following their experience, each celebrity taking part will meet somebody with a hearing dog to find out how they are helped every day by the assistance and companionship of their dog.

Pam St Clement will meet Steven Taylor and his dog Echo. Steven lost his hearing following a car accident in which his girlfriend Lydia was tragically killed.

Thanks to Echo, Steven has come to terms with his newly silent world, and is proud to be a part of Deaf for the Day.

Hearing Dogs hope to raise £40,000, which will allow the charity to assign 10 more hearing dogs to those who need them.

You can watch a video of Tim's experience here, or view a trailer of Pam's day.
