13 March. Don Furbank of the Tonbridge Lions sends a handy package of hearing aids and moulds. The first contribution for a while from them methinks but very welcome.

7 April. Much catching up followed by 350 aids heading to Vinnitsa in the Ukraine, via Cllr John Fox from Peterborough.
8April. The second consignment of untested hearing aids are on their way north to Frankland. It is an A4 paper boxes full, so it must be 3000 or so (we will let them count them for us). And there will be more!
9 April. Delivered unto us by our Lion Gareth, a wonderful haul from all over the country and via Chichester.
Apart from the hearing aids were the 5 audiometers from Sunderland. Best of all, 112 of the aids had been cleaned and checked by a kind but anonymous audiologist. If you read this, a thousand thanks.
15 April. A second box of about 500 untested hearing aids is off up to Frankland gaol for their attentions.
15 April. 200 hearing aids are on their way to Dr Harold Norwood in Brasilia.

9 May. Two almost brand new Phonak hearing aids and two others from the late Mr Edwards of Hastings, donated by his son Steven. These came about thanks to Mansel Hearing Centre in Maidstone.
