A special four-legged guest helped raise more than £200 for charity.

Morgan, the trainee hearing dog, visited Churchill Living's Beck Lodge development in Park Gate, Fareham for an event marking Deaf Awareness Week.

Apartment owners and guests gathered in the owners' lounge on May 6, to raise money for the 'Hearing Dogs for Deaf People' and 'Hearing Link' charities.

The money raised will go towards sponsoring two trainee hearing dog puppies.
