New website for UK deaf community
www.deafok.com is an excellent new news and community site for the deaf. The site was created by Oliver Westbury, who, being deaf himself, has personal experience of the isolation and loneliness felt by many deaf people and their families.
Oliver set up Deafok.com to alleviate this loneliness and "to cheer deaf people up and help them to enjoy themselves, maybe to get involved in something if they want".
The site already provides information on deaf social events and sporting events as well as football leagues, World News, Entertainment, Photographs, Education and Youth Exchange. There are also message boards for Points of View, Vacancies, Pen Pals, Sales and Dating.
Because Oliver went to University and enjoyed the social life as much as the academic learning, Deafok.com also includes articles about higher education and how to achieve this, how to meet other deaf people at University, and
lists several schools of interest.
If you would like to contact Oliver, please email ok@deafok.com
