WANA is a constituted community organisation dedicated to strengthening neighbourhood ties and enhancing well-being for residents of Witherley and Atterton, in South-West Leicestershire. The principal aim of WANA is to reduce loneliness and encourage greater social engagement within the local community.​  By bringing people together and uniting voices, WANA is better placed to address local concerns. The organisation aims to work closely with councils and other partners to identify and deliver solutions to community issues. WANA's greatest asset is its hardworking and enthusiastic team of volunteers, affectionately known as the WANA bees.  "Our team of devoted volunteers creates a buzz as it organises WANA events and welcomes everyone to participate.  The energy and commitment of these residents ensure the success of every initiative." Joy Simpson, Team Leader Working in partnership with community groups, WANA produces a monthly newsletter and maintains a calendar of events. These include regular gatherings, workshops, and classes catering to a variety of interests and age groups.  For the most up-to-date information, residents are encouraged to read WANA newsletters and visit the organisation's website regularly. ​
