The Listen Here! Minibus Case Study

Norfolk Deaf Association

The project will provide a mobile outreach service for elderly, deaf people in the rural areas of Norfolk. The group will purchase and adapt a minibus to make it accessible for people with physical as well as sensory impairments.

The minibus will follow a regular monthly route, and the service will be operated by trained volunteers, who will offer support on hearing aid maintenance, as well as providing information and guidance on other aspects of deafness. Families will be able to receive support via the service including access to lip reading and sign language courses.

The group will also use the minibus for community and public events, promoting the service and raising awareness. There will be an estimated 2,500 beneficiaries.
