The New Forest Deaf Club was founded in February 2024 on the back of FeelHear’s first cohort of learners on the 10 week introduction to BSL course.  When cohort 1 completed in December 2023 the delegates asked ‘what’s next’ – apart from signposting them to BSL Level 1 Nancy created a comfortable, safe space for them to practise in, have a social get together and bring in others who were interested in the deaf world.  “My aim has always been to bridge the gap between the deaf and the hearing world – what better way to do this than to bring us all together over a cheeky drink in a posh wine bar”.
