Deaf Advocacy

Deaf Connexions provides an Information Advice & Advocacy service for Deaf people.

We cover most of Norfolk.

If you are Deaf and a British Sign Language user who needs help with letters, bills or information that you do not understand and English is not your first language or you need some support or advice, our Deaf Advocate can help you.
