Cambridgeshire Deaf Association
We have been at the heart of the Deaf Community in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for more than 100 years, and no other organisation in the area has our experience.
We make sure local services — healthcare, benefits, safety and more — are accessible in British Sign Language.
Community
CDA was created because of the importance of a strong Deaf Community.
The events and meet-ups CDA run give deaf people the chance to socialise with people in their own language and to receive vital information from CDA and relevant professionals.
Hearing Help
Hearing Help have been delivering services for local people with hearing loss since 1978.
Originally we provided them under the name of CAMTAD and then later Hearing Help CIO. On 1st April 2022 they transferred to Cambridgeshire Deaf Association who support and will sustain the original mission of: reducing the impact of hearing loss on people’s lives across Cambridgeshire.
