In the recent Royal Bank of Scotland and the Daily Mail Charities Award, The Ear Foundation has been awarded £10,000, after being voted in the top 10 of children's charities.

The two organisations were giving away £1 million to a total of 91 children's charities and readers were asked to say which charity was their favourite and why.

The money will be used towards saving Marjorie Sherman House from closure. This is a building owned by The Ear Foundation, where family courses are run from and where much needed accommodation is provided.
