I’m super excited to share that I’ll be taking part in a 28km walking challenge, and even more thrilled to say that I’m raising funds for the amazing charity 50 Million Voices.

The money raised will help them continue supporting people who stammer across the globe through the incredible job interview practice they run every year.

Please help them continue their fantastic work! 👏

Some 50 million people of employable age stammer across the globe, hence our name.

Misconceptions, prejudice and lack of understanding mean people who stammer are at least twice as likely to be unemployed and often underperform at work. Their talents and strengths may be ignored or never even seen. It does not need to be this way. That’s why we’re working to transform the world of work for people who stammer.

A lot hangs on job interviews - how they are conducted and the way stammering is affected by the nature of the interaction.

Your support will help fund and continue our proven flagship online practice interviews programme, which brings together people who stammer and people who don’t, with briefing sessions and workshops as well as the interviews themselves.

Our practice interviews:

Empower people who stutter to successfully tackle interviews

Equip interviewers and well-known employers with essential listening skills

Provide hands-on learning experiences in a safe environment, addressing an often-overlooked subject

Build valuable - and often ongoing - relationships with fellow people who stutter and/or allies

Successfully help individuals secure their desired jobs or promotions

On behalf of everyone at 50 Million Voices, thank you for considering donating or taking part in this challenge to raise money for the next Practice Interview event. We hugely appreciate your support.
