Fantastic Flynn's flying the nest 🐾

This clever boy was a joy to teach in puppy classes, and was super quick to learn his soundwork.

After completing his final training assessment, all that's left is for Flynn is to meet his deaf partner!

Congratulations Team Flynn 👏🥰

For many, Silent Night is a symbol of Christmas ⭐️

But for millions affected by hearing loss, the idea of a silent night can be starkly different.

“As I lost my hearing, silence came to mean anxiety and loneliness. Silent nights were so dark.” shares David.

Going to bed unable to hear vital noises like the shouts of a loved one, or a life-saving smoke alarm, can mean facing a silent night of fear.

Help us be there for everyone with hearing loss, from their first silent night.

Ada has gone for a trip on the bus 🚌

“Monty has given me back my life, as has this extraordinary charity.”

For Elizabeth hearing loss brought anxiety, isolation and a relationship breakdown. Then she met Monty, her hearing dog.

With him by her side, she feels safer, confident and able to connect with others again.

When the Telegraph Christmas Charity Appeal launched in its current form 40 years ago. Over four decades we’ve supported dozens of charities to raise awareness and crucial funds over the Christmas period.

This year, we have chosen four more charities whose work gains a special ve time of year; offering connection, support, and a helping hand to those who need it most: Missing People (@missingpeople), Kidney Research UK, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (@HearingDogs) and Little Troopers (@LittleTroopers_)

As we come together to celebrate the festive season we must also do our part for the people who sorely need our help to put some joy and cheer back into the world. Every year, you respond to our charity appeal with outstanding generosity. In a message from familiar faces at The Telegraph and beyond, we humbly ask the same of you in 2026.
