On Sunday May 7 a sponsored walk takes place at Itchen Valley Country Park as part of Deaf Awareness Week (1 — 7 May), to raise vital funds for Hampshire Deaf Association.
There’s no minimum level of sponsorship to enter, and anyone raising over Ł50 in sponsorship will also receive a mystery gift. Entry is only Ł4 for adults, Ł2 for children or Ł10 for a family (2 adults & 2 children).
A range of leaflets and exhibits will be on display in the Civic Centre foyer between Tuesday 2 May and Friday 5 May with friendly advice available from volunteers about deaf issues all day on Wednesday.
Katie Cheeseman, Sensory Services Manager at Southampton City Council said, “Itchen Valley Country Park is a beautiful setting to hold the sponsored walk and it is important for us to raise as much money as possible. This week is also very important in raising awareness of the issues associated with deafness.”
