The New Year gives us time to reflect on how far we’ve come — the steps we’ve taken and the ways we’ve navigated challenges along the way.
Wishing you a 2026 full of hope and possibility.

Buzzing to celebrate International Stammering Awareness Day today. We champion different voices everyday, but today we are going to shout about it even louder. Why not share with your workplace or school to help build awareness of stammering in your local community #isad25

Tyler Holland (Assistant Director), and guests from The Fluency Trust, including Speech Therapist Alex Ford, and Liam Wakeling, who will share his experience of stammering and how he has learned to embrace his stammer as a unique part of his identity.
