The Wiltshire and Dorset Deaf Association was formed in 2004 and aims to offer a range of services to ensure that deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people in Dorset and Wiltshire enjoy equal access, opportunity and have the same independence as hearing people.

WDDA offers a range of training courses, including deaf awareness, communication tactics and British Sign Language.

WDDA also aims to provide information about the services available across Dorset and Wiltshire, to offer assistance and act as an advocate in the campaign for equal access for all.
