Give to change a life

Stammering is not just about getting words out. A child who stammers may feel isolated, anxious, experience bullying and limit school, friendship and career opportunities. Parents can feel helpless and fearful for their child’s future. Too many children miss the critical opportunity for life changing therapy. With your support we can empower children who stammer to communicate with confidence.

Support us

We need charitable support to bridge the gap for families needing help.

Making a difference

Find out how we empower children who stammer to become confident communicators who live life to the full.
