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.
Growing Voices, an outdoor club for children who stammer, offers a friendly and supportive play group specifically designed for children aged 7–12 who stammer. The programme is based in County Durham but open to children from across the UK.
Led by our partner and Speech and Language Therapist, Jaclyn, these outdoor sessions focus on child-led play, creating a natural environment where every child feels empowered to build their confidence and share their voice at their own pace.
Children will enjoy a variety of nature-based activities, including creative arts and crafts, gardening, and interactive talking sessions.
Dates: Monday from 27 April to mid-October 2026
Time: 5:00 – 6:30pm
Location: Durham DH7
In addition to the regular Monday evening sessions, children will be invited to Fun Days in July, October and December.
We are still welcoming applications…

Online course 30th March – 2nd April 2026
Summer residential 24th – 29th May 2026

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.
Applications for Cohort 5, which runs October 2026 – April 2027 are now open.
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.
