Who we are
The Michael Palin for Stammering (MPC) is a world-renowned centre of excellence for children and adults who stammer and their families.

Our specialist speech and language therapists focus on understanding each child’s experience of stammering to help them find their voice, so they feel that what they say, not how they say it is valued.
We have provided expert help to many thousands of children, their parents and adults over the past three decades. We need charitable support so we can offer intensive group therapy programmes, a free helpline supported by therapists, training for therapists across the globe and research to underpin all we do and improve future care.

Why we need your support
We bridge the gap for families needing help. Too many children miss the critical opportunity for therapy due to funding and geographical barriers.
