Our 2025 appeal
We have an ambitious goal: to fund our flagship intensive group therapy programme every year for five years. We want to ensure children and families in need do not miss out due to financial or geographical barriers.
The cost of changing a life: £5,800 funds a place on our intensive group therapy programme for one year.
40 children/teens and their families experience our life-changing intensive group therapy programme each year. These courses are the only kind of their type in the UK, offering vital community support and personalised therapy.
Many children and parents have never met another person who stammers before. The social and emotional benefits of being part of a supportive community is profound and the results are life changing.


Our year-long programmes are designed for children aged 11-18 years at critical points in their lives. They may be starting secondary school, entering the workplace or starting university.
