VOLUNTEERS are needed to offer homes to puppies while they are being trained for people with hearing difficulties.

Hearing Dogs For Deaf People, in Saunderton, needs people who either work from home or part-time to take on the puppies aged between seven weeks to three years.

Volunteers will need to attend a puppy training class once every three weeks, and the charity will provide dog food, fund vet bills and pay for travel expenses.

The charity trains puppies and dogs to learn every day sounds such as smoke alarms, door bells and the telephone before placing them with a person with hearing difficulties.

Anyone who is interested should contact the centre on (01844) 353898
