Welcome to the West Norfolk Deaf Association

You will have noticed that our website has changed little over the last couple of years. Well things are about to change! There is lots happening at WNDA. We want you to be aware of all we offer and hope that the redesign with regular updating will achieve this.

As well as informing you of our services there will be lots about the interesting and challenging volunteering opportunities within WNDA.

Keep watching and I feel you won't be disappointed.

***************************

West Norfolk Deaf Association was set up in 1991, in response to the demand from local people for a centre for Deaf people.

The Deaf Association aims to provide information, support and advice to deaf people in West Norfolk whilst raising awareness of deaf people’s needs in the wider community.

The National Lottery Charities Board granted us £153,985, in March 1998 to establish a centre in King's Lynn and to employ a full time manager. The centre opened in 1998 and is used for social events and as an information centre, providing information, support and advice.
Hearing people use the centre too as a place to get information about a range of issues.

We also have contact with organisations like Social Services, the Primary Care Trust, and the Local Council to make sure they know what Deaf and hard of hearing people think of their services and what we want for the future.
