Who are we?
Welcome to our WNDA website.
WNDA is a local charity supporting Deaf and hard of hearing people in West Norfolk. Established in 1991, WNDA received a substantial grant from the National Lotteries Charities Board and in 1997 purchased premises in Railway Road, King’s Lynn. The building, now known as ‘The Deaf Centre,’ is a hive of activity and we have staff available from Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 3.30pm to assist our numerous visitors.

Local statistics
Around 47% of Norfolk’s population is aged 45 and above and 21% of the population is aged 65 and above. It is also known that 55% of people over the age of 60 are hard of hearing. Norfolk has a higher than average number of elderly people and this figure looks set to rise. Our services are therefore very much on demand.
We need volunteers
WNDA relies on the support of a loyal and hardworking group of volunteers to run its services. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please contact us for a volunteer pack.
A warm welcome
Being Deaf or having a hearing loss can be isolating and for many embarrassing. We are proud of the professional and caring service we offer and treat all visitors and clients with respect and understanding, as I am sure you will find if you visit us. You will be very welcome.
