Dress up your pets

Why not dress up your pets for Loud Shirt Day?

20th October is the day to be LOUD and PROUD and help create a sound future for deaf children. Prizes will be awarded for the best and loudest dressed pet.

Our colleagues across the sea also ran a competition for the best-dressed pets to fundraise for Loud Shirt Day. Take a look to get some inspiration!

We love to hear about the new and creative ways our supporters kindly raise funds to support deaf children in learning to listen and talk. If you have an idea that you would like to discuss with our fundraising team please do get in touch! You can get in touch with our fundraising team by emailing [email protected] or calling 01869 325 000.

Whatever you decide to do, remember to post it on social media using the hashtag #LoudShirtDay and email [email protected] so we can see your fabulous pictures!
