Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped children who stammer this year. You've helped to ensure that these young people had access to support when it mattered most.

Christmas can be exciting, but for those who stammer, it can also overwhelm.

Big gatherings and pressure to “perform" can take the cheer out of the festive season.

If someone you know is feeling anxious about it, check out our Support Hub. 🎄💬

How does anxiety shape childhood stuttering?

PhD researcher Zhixing Yang from @ucl explores this question through a social lens — listening beyond speech.

🏆 Her work earned her a Special Commendation from @stammeringchildren at the Oxford Stuttering & Cluttering Research Conference.

Born from one student’s courage to speak up, it brings together Holderness Academy, Humber NHS & Siobhan Ward.
