Scottish Stammering Network

We want to change this so that stammering is better understood by the general public and that people who have a stammer know where to go to for support when they need it. We are a small Scottish Charity run by unpaid volunteers and at present we run a support group and workshops for people who stammer which are free to attend, in order to make our help accessible to all. We want to set up more support groups across the whole of Scotland so that people of all ages with a stammer know that there is a place where they can turn to for help. With support from fundraising we will be able to help even more people and raise awareness of the condition with the general public.
