Support us
We need charitable support to bridge the gap for families needing help. With 150,000 children who stammer in the UK too many miss the critical opportunity for therapy due to funding and geographic barriers.
With your support we can empower children who stammer to communicate with confidence. Whether you donate, fundraise, become a corporate partner or support us in another way, you can unlock access to life changing therapy.
