Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Rich and Sandhya have signed up as one of 12 brave couples who will learn to dance, ‘Strictly’ style and then perform in front of family and friends, Ed Balls and a celebrity judging panel at the Action for Stammering Children gala ball in October.

Action for Stammering Children (ASC) is a UK charity which aims to ensure that every child and young person across the UK who stammers has access to effective services and support to help them meet the challenges they face. 

Richard personally benefited from the Charity as a child attending the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children.

Latest research suggests that up to 8% of children will stammer at some point, and approximately 1% continue to stammer into adulthood. In the UK that means that 1.5 million children will experience stammering as they are growing up. 

Action for Stammering Children is celebrating its 30th Anniversary. Since it was founded, ASC has supported 88,000 children and young people who stammer.
