A £5,000 donation from the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Centre will help someone from Swindon with hearing difficulties.
Staff at the shopping village have raised the money for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf over the past year by carrying out activities including a pancake race in February and putting up a children's inflatable slide.
Hearing Dogs for the Deaf will use the donation to put a dog through a 10-month training course.
Centre marketing manager Iona Carter said: "It's great to see exactly how the money will be spent. We know that the dog has already been allocated to a local deaf person to help make their life easier on a day to day basis."
