Opening doors to expertise

In partnership with leading organisations across the sector, we fund places on therapy courses, provide bursaries and run a 1:1 career mentoring programme – helping young people grow confidence, build connections and set their own path towards their future.

With over three decades of experience, we know what works, where the gaps are and how to make a real difference.

These programmes take place each year – get in touch with our Support Hub Advisor for more information.

Programmes for young people

  • Described by a number of participants as ‘life-changing’, we’re proud to fully fund courses for young people who stammer (aged 11 – 18), delivered by non-profit speech and language therapy service, Talking Out Ltd. These in-person and online courses help young people to build confidence, grow resilience and connect with others who understand what it’s like to stammer.

     

  • No one should feel like their stammer stands in their way of their future career. But we know that too many young people in this situation hold back from pursuing the jobs they dream of.

    That’s why we created our one-of-a-kind mentoring scheme. Run in partnership with Sam Simpson of Redefining Stammering, we match young people (aged 18 – 25) with mentors from their chosen fields who also stammer. People who’ve been there and who really get it. Together, they explore real-world strategies, build confidence and develop practical tools for navigating the world of work.

  • Our bursary schemes are part of our commitment to making sure every child can access specialist support if they want it, no matter their background.

    Run in conjunction with City St George’s University, the Summer Intensive Course provides crucial support to young people (aged 13-17) who stammer. For families in London on low incomes, our bursary scheme helps make this opportunity possible.

    Our Forces Fund bursary offers a subsidised place on any of our therapeutic funded activities for children and young people from Forces families who stammer.
