All About Hearing raises over £2,200 for deaf children's charity

Local hearing specialists All About Hearing hosted a successful charity quiz night, raising £2,275 for the National Deaf Children's Society.

The big picture: The event, held at Kesgrave War Memorial Community Centre on 13 April, attracted 24 teams competing in a challenging trivia contest. The winning team, 'Lyn-Less', led by local resident Peter Knight, took home a £100 prize.

Why it matters: The funds will support deaf children and young people in the UK, providing crucial services and resources.

What they're saying: “We’re thrilled with the turnout and the amount raised at our Charity Quiz Night,” said Matthew Coward, Director for All About Hearing. “It was a fantastic evening filled with friendly competition and a real sense of community spirit. We’d like to thank everyone who participated, donated prizes, and helped make the event such a success.”

All About Hearing , a family-run business established in 2020, has made charitable events a key part of their community engagement.

  • The company is run by mother and son duo Karen Finch and Matthew Coward.

  • They operate clinics at Gilmour Piper on Fonnereau Road and at Two Rivers Medical Centre on Woodbridge Road East in Ipswich.
