Vitality London 10,000 2022 · 2 May 2022 ·

At least 2 million children in the UK are struggling to talk and understand words.  We give children and young people the skills they need so they aren't left behind. We do this by creating tools for schools and nurseries, giving advice and guidance to families and putting pressure on politicians.

Story

At Words First our primary goal is to help kids talk.  We do this through supporting schools, parents and students themselves to maximise their communication potential. We are running the Vitality 10km to promote the work of ICAN, who aim to make sure no child is left behind. We want to help all children communicate, even on a bank holiday Monday!

More than half the children in some parts of the UK start school with a communication difficulty and are likely to struggle with talking, understanding, learning and making friends. Words First have partnered with I CAN, a UK charity supporting children so that they have the communication skills they need. Its mission is that no child should be left out or left behind because of a difficulty speaking or understanding. You can support that mission today!
