About the New Forest Social Deaf Club
This informal social gathering is attended by friendly people from the village and across the New Forest.
This concept was originally founded in February 2024 as a direct result of FeelHear’s first 10 week Introduction to British Sign Language (BSL) Course in Milford on Sea village.
Organiser Nancy explains: "When our first Introduction to BSL Course completed in December 2023 the delegates asked ‘what’s next? It was decided that we needed a comfortable, safe space for them to practise their new found signing skills in a social environment. There was also the opportunity to invite others who were deaf, hard of hearing, or simply interested in the deaf world. My aim has always been to bridge the gap between the deaf and the hearing world, and what better way to do this than to bring everyone together over a cheeky drink in a posh wine bar! - The Social Deaf Club was born.”
Hard of hearing, or not, everyone is welcome.
Upcoming New Forest Social Deaf Club dates this year:Drop in anytime from 5pm to 8pm. Free Entry. Pet dogs also welcome!
Everyone in the village is invited to a Free Sign Language Open Day on Saturday 14th September 2024 from 1.30pm to 4pm in Milford on Sea Village Hall.
