With its origins in January 1967 at the Princes Street United Reformed Church in Norwich, the Wednesday Club began life as a weekly club for people with learning disabilities who mostly lived in long stay hospitals and institutions. The Club, for some was their only activity away from the hospital.

Moved to the Vauxhall Community Hub, in Norwich in 2014, and now re-openning at The Lazar House, Sprowston Road, Norwich in October 2021, the Club is run by mostly volunteers with disabilities, and provides around 40 people each Wednesday evening between 7pm and 9pm with a chance to meet with friends and take part in a range of different activities, of their choosing. They include:

• Quizes
• Bingo sessions
• Arts and Craft activities
• Pool
• Pub Visits
• Indoor sports
• Nintendo Wii games
• A women's group
• A men's group
• Tuck shop
• Raffles and games of chance
• Exercise and skills sessions
• Visiting speakers
• Barbecue, Christmas and Halloween parties

There is no need to book to attend the Wednesday Club, however you must be a registered BUILD Charity Gold or Basic Member. It is open to anyone with any disability aged 16 and above and an entry fee is payable on arrival each week. Entry is £5 for Basic Members and £2.50 for Gold Members.
