About Norfolk & Norwich Association for the Blind

The Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind (The NNAB) celebrates its 208th Anniversary in 2013. Its mission is to help Norfolk's 20,000 people with poor sight remain independent and confident. Sight loss affects all age groups and the Association supports everyone from new born to those over 100 years of age.

Last year our community workers made nearly 7,000 separate visits to individuals in their homes and there were over 6,000 visitors to the seven equipment centres in Norwich, King's Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Watton, Diss and the Mobile Centre.
