June 2018:
I had the privilege of working with Gareth Gates in his very first Stammer School in Bradford, Manchester. It was a 2 day weekend working with children who stammer and their families. The aim was to give them a safe space to find out more about stammering, meet others who stammer and most importantly, have fun! It was an incredible weekend and it was amazing to see the children grow in confidence.
A TV crew from ITV filmed us over the weekend and there was a clip of Stammer School on ITV: This Morning: https://www.itv.com/thismorning/hot-topics/gareth-gates-opens-up-the-door-to-his-stammer-school
