๐ Yesterday, the Wi******er team had the privilege of hosting a very special visit from The Mayor of Wi******er, Cllr Angela Clear, to mark a generous donation from the team to the Wi******er Samaritans, a cause that does vital work in the local community.๐
๐ The full story...
Recently, Amanda Deveney, our resident audiologist at Leightons Wi******er, had been visited by one of her patients and Samaritans Listening Volunteer, Piers Armstrong. During their conversation, Piers, a current hearing aid wearer, shared the challenges faced by hard-of-hearing phone volunteers when taking calls.
Inspired by Piers' words, Amanda saw an opportunity to make a difference and with the team, arranged a donation of two Oticon Connect Clips and Phone Adaptors for the Wi******er Samaritans Branch. This kit would go assisting volunteers like Piers in speaking with vulnerable individuals.
So yesterday, Amanda was joined by Piers, Director of Wi******er Samaritans Wayne Fletcher, and The Mayor of Wi******er, to officially hand over the donations. Here's what Amanda had to say:
"Personally, this has meant a great deal to be able to do something so positive not only for a patient who does an amazing job in volunteering for such an important cause but to the wider organisation as well."
๐ We'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Amanda, the Wi******er team, and everyone who was involved! ๐
