Elite Hotels announces new charity partnership
Started in 1982 by Dr Bruce Fogle and Lady Beatrice Wright, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a charity that trains dogs to transform the lives of deaf people
Elite Hotels, the operator of three venues in Sussex and Hampshire, has announced its charitable partner for 2024, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
The Rotherwick Foundation, the charitable arm of Elite Hotels, has already begun actively supporting Hearing Dogs for Deaf People to “reinforce the group’s dedication to making a difference in the community”.
Started in 1982 by Dr Bruce Fogle and Lady Beatrice Wright, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a charity that trains dogs to transform the lives of deaf people.
As part of the partnership, the group’s three hotels – Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club, Tylney Hall Hotel and Gardens and The Grand Hotel – will collaborate in a series of in-house fundraising events, where employees and guests will generate funds for the cause.
Graeme Bateman, managing director of Elite Hotels, said: “Elite Hotels is honoured to announce our collaboration with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. With a longstanding dedication to philanthropy, we are pleased to introduce this auspicious partnership.”
David Robson, head of communications and engagement at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, added: “Elite Hotels’ support of Hearing Dogs will make a huge difference to the lives of deaf children and adults across the UK.
“By raising money, donating, or actively participating in the great fundraising initiatives Elite have created, guests and employees will be helping to train more life-changing hearing dogs who will help deaf people leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life.”
All funds raised by Elite Hotels will directly contribute to the training of an assistance puppy, providing crucial and life-changing support to individuals with hearing impairments.
