Monthly meetings in Birmingham for people who stammer.
Organisers Abed and Gillian say, "This is a group aiming to make Birmingham and surrounding areas a better place for people who stammer. We are led by a small steering group which includes people who stammer, local speech & language therapists and students.
'We hold monthly events — some only for people who stammer (socials) and some open to everyone (formals). During our socials, we play a lot of fun games and it is very laid back. During our formal events we have speakers who stammer presenting a topic of their choice. They also share words of wisdom and run a couple of activities for the audience. All events will provide you with opportunities to meet with, talk to and learn from others in a safe, pressure-free and friendly environment. Taking part is optional!"
