Deaf Awareness to Business
Deaf Awareness to Business in line with the BSL Act 22 and your equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging commitments.
About FeelHear
FeelHear was set up in the Summer of 2018 when Nancy Weatherson moved to the New Forest to start her new career in the deaf world. While completing her qualifications Nancy began working with disabled deaf adults in supported living. These clients are now good friends and feature in some of Nancy’s signed song performances featured on her YouTube channel.
‘Being a music lover I would sing my way through my shifts and even though my ‘crew’ couldn’t hear me they would dance along to my singing. Amazed by this I decided to sign songs for them and their reaction was beautiful. They said they could Feel the music through my performance. Hence the name of my company FeelHear’.
