Hussingtree Gin.  Inspired in Worcestershire.

Our aim is to create distinctive premium distilled gin, inspired by the array of wonderful produce available in our home county of Worcestershire.

Hussingtree Gin is owned and run by three gin loving family members – husband and wife Richard and Elaine, and Duncan, Elaine’s son.

Our brand takes its name from the village where Elaine and Richard live – Martin Hussingtree, just north of Worcester.  The name reflects both our heritage and one of our core values – the importance of ‘local’.

From the Hussingtree name comes the ‘H’ within the stylised roundel, which is an important part of our visual branding.

Our first distilled gin is Hussingtree Juneberry Gin which is launching in July 2018, shortly followed by our distilled plum gin that will be launched in August at the Pershore Plum Festival.  Our range of gins will continue to evolve as we move through the seasons of the year.

You can find out more about us on our website and we’ll post plenty of updates about our journey on facebook and instagram.

Kerry Kernan – Kerry Kernan Millinery and Textiles

I have studied and taught a wide range of textiles skills for twenty years, being a qualified Textiles teacher. In this time, I discovered my love for millinery and accessories and created many bespoke creations for clients before deciding to really ‘go for it’ and establish my business, ‘Kerry Kernan Millinery & Textiles’.

Having trained under a well established and respected milliner, I have now developed my own style of ‘quirky meets classic’ and am able to bring in many of my textiles skills to create unique pieces.

My studio/shop is based at The Fold in picturesque Worcester. Here you can see me creating each item meticulously with a high level of finish, using high quality materials. Each piece of millinery is stitched completely by hand. I love all things classic and timeless but love to add a contemporary twist to my designs!

Whether you are looking for a wedding, the races, the regatta, a tea party or you simply need a touch of glamour in everyday life, I pride myself on being able to design and colour match my accessories to compliment any outfit and I thrive on the personal consultation approach I have with clients.

Imagine waking up in the morning and being unable to hear the birds singing. Imagine being unable to hear your child’s first words, or your child being unable to hear you. Imagine not being able to hear your smoke alarm or doorbell – where would you turn to for help?

Deaf Direct is here to support people living locally with hearing loss. Whether it’s helping a child, a young person or an adult with hearing loss, we are here to provide support and information. Perhaps you’ve never been able to hear– or perhaps suddenly you’ve found it more difficult to hear people. Maybe you can’t hear the TV or radio as well as you used to, because you’ve lost your hearing through working in a noisy industrial environment. 1 in 6 people in the UK are living with hearing loss right now.

Whether it’s interpreting at a GP appointment, helping people to choose which equipment they need to combat deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss, or providing information to those newly diagnosed with hearing loss, we are here to help break down communication barriers and change lives. We also run summer camps to support young people with hearing loss and their families. Our services include:

• Communication Assistance .
• Community Outreach and Support
• Social and Support Groups
• Training
• Equipment Youth Services
• Information and Advice
• Advocacy
• Volunteering

However, we can’t do this alone and we rely on donations to help fund our activities. We already support over 6,000 people across Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Oxfordshire per year, and we expect at least 900 more to need our support annually. By 2030, hearing loss will be one of the world’s most prevalent disabilities – far above conditions such as diabetes.

Deaf Direct can also support your business by providing Deaf Awareness training to improve communication between employees and customers. This is  particularly useful for businesses who have older customers who are hard of hearing or staff who need to protect their ears.

For more information about our training, or how we can work together to fulfil your business’ CSR Policy, please email fundraising@deafdirect.org.uk
