The Council started life as the Welsh Regional Association for the Deaf in the mid 1950s.

The name was changed to Welsh Association for the Deaf in 1967 then Wales Council for the Deaf in 1977.

Our current title of Wales Council for Deaf People came into use in 2004.

The Council has been serving the deaf and hard of hearing communities in Wales for 60 years.

Look out for special events planned during 2016 to celebrate!!!
