IN THESE difficult times, it gives me great joy to receive so much help and interest in my charity, The Ear Trust.

Collections of old jewellery, watches stamps and memorabilia etc continue to arrive and help deaf babies and children in our area to have a cochlear implant and thus a near-normal life.

Thank you does not seem enough especially to those of you who donate anonymously. But what else can I say? Let’s keep up this good work.
