A shared space for anything to do with stammering, for people living around Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe and in Lincolnshire.
The group's vision is to provide a safe space for people who stammer to:
- come together as a local community
- share experiences
- offer mutual support and encouragement
- celebrate communication and social activity
- enjoy humour and fun
- try something new or extend boundaries
- engage in open discussions
- explore anything stammering related
- keep up to date with the wider stammering community
- develop a platform for collectively raising awareness about stammering.
