On the death of a long standing member of the Kingswinford & Stourbridge Lions Club Derek Pitt in 2009 it was decided by the Club to attempt to raise £5000 to cover the cost of sponsoring the purchase and training of a dog through the charity Hearing Dogs for the Deaf in his memory.

The Club are pleased to report that they have now achieved their target thanks to various efforts including a sponsored six hour solo walk of 20 miles along the Staffordshire and Worcester Canal from Stourport to Wolverhampton by Lion Graham Foster which raised £1000.

A presentation took place on Tuesday 8th February at Stourbridge Institute and Social Club at which a representative from Hearing Dogs for the Deaf was present with a Hearing Dog undergoing training.

The Mayor of Dudley Councillor Peter Miller an Honorary Member of Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions Club also attended with invitations extended to all those who made individual donations to the Fund.
