WEST NORFOLK DEAF ASSOCIATION

The main objective of the West Norfolk Deaf Association is to work with deaf and hard of hearing people to facilitate independent living and reduce isolation.We aim to raise awareness of the issues facing deaf people and provide a community centre for deaf people to promote social, community and educational activities.We primarily cover West Norfolk but are able to extend our service as required.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
