Thank you for your interest in supporting Dogs’ Dinners for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. It costs £5,000 to sponsor the selection, training and placement of a hearing dog and it is only through the support of people like you that we are able to train more dogs to alert severely and profoundly deaf people to important everyday sounds.

The idea is simple!

As a host, you organise the Dogs’ Dinner and invite the guests. Create your own favourite dishes or choose from the delicious recipes available on this site. Or just keep it simple and order pizza and ask each of your guests to make a donation to help train more hearing dogs.

Why not have a real ‘Dogs’ Dinner’ for some of your dog’s friends?

Remember that a Dogs’ Dinner can be incorporated into any kind of social gathering – a cocktail party, barbeque, wine tasting, tea party, luncheon, even a dinner for your dog’s friends!

To assist you with your Dogs’ Dinner, we have put together an online Dogs’ Dinner host kit that provides you with downloadable versions of our:

party planning tips
children's party planning tips
suggestions for meals
recipe cards (we've created recipe cards for four of these meal ideas to provide a three course meat or vegetarian meal)
Dogs’ Dinner invitations (click to download)
Dogs’ Dinner donation cards (for guests who cannot attend but who want to get involved)

You can also request additional supporting material such as information literature about Hearing Dogs; collecting tins; balloons and banner tape. Just let us know in your registration email and give us your full postal address so we can post them out to you. It also helps us if you can tell us the date you plan to hold your Dogs’ Dinner.
