"It’s only since I’ve had my hearing dog Ingle, who plays such a vital and indispensable role in my life, that I can finally live and work with complete confidence and security."

Pool exhibitions with Carl Morris
By the age of 21 Carl ‘Houdini’ Morris was a world champion pool player. He had survived childhood meningitis and rise to the top in his profession. Despite profound deafness, with his ambition and single-minded determination he had everything except, in his own words, complete freedom and independence.
“Before Ingle arrived to help, day-to-day living had become very difficult but it is in my professional life that Ingle has had the greatest impact. Until she came along, I was never able to have the complete freedom, I could not depend on myself totally, or just go wherever I liked, since I relied on others for certain things”.
Carl Morris has set up a new organisation to help Hearing Dogs to raise funds. Click here to view Carl’s web page.
His new company Charity Exhibitions is offering everyone a chance to play against the Stars of Pool, Darts and Snooker, rather than just watching them.
Individuals can book the stars for a challenge and exhibition at a convenient venue. Most events need around 25 people to raise sponsorship for an event to take place. Each Challenge is tailor made, and for individuals the events are funded by low level sponsorship – starting at £75
Corporate clients have the opportunity to use these events as incentives and team building experiences for their staff and clients.
The website www.charityexhibitions.com has more examples and ideas, and has a useful Q&A section.
