The Hamlet Charity

The Hamlet Charity Overcoming barriers and creating opportunities for Children and Young Adults with disabilities living in Norfolk. Opening hours 8.45am-4.30pm

From point of diagnosis to 29 years and beyond, we provide recreational, educational and social opportunities for children and adults with profound disabilities and complex health needs. As a charity we support and enrich the lives of families, children and adults at our two locations in Norwich. Established in 1972 by inspirational couple Jack and Margaret Wymer, the charity has evolved from its

beginnings as a Toy Library into a charity offering a range of services for children and adults from birth. Today we offer a wide range of high quality services to support over 500 families each year from across Norfolk and North Suffolk. These services promote integration and inclusion by breaking down barriers that often exist for people with disabilities.
