Get involved with our Phone call nightmares campaign

Section

STAMMA needs your phone call nightmare stories to help drive our campaign. Here's how you can do it, as well as find other ways to get involved.

Our new campaign is all about pushing organisations to improve phone accessible for people who stammer. Join us and let's change the landscape so that phoning a company is normal, and not a nightmare!

We need your stories!

We need as many of your experiences as possible to show businesses what the problem is. That way, we can get them to understand the impact of poor phone call accessibility.

Tell us about a recent phone call nightmare you've had. Drop us an email at media@stamma.org with details. It can be just a short paragraph or give us both barrels. Don't include personal names. Do tell us about the impact of the call.

If the call was so bad that you want to take action, go even further: give all the details to our Advocacy Service, and we'll see what we can do. But don't sit on it, otherwise before you know it, the window for any legal action will close.

Share on socials

We need as many people as possible to see this campaign. We need your help to do that.

Check out our social channels below and please share our campaign posts far and wide. It could be as simple as reposting them on your profile or sharing them on Stories — it will only take a few minutes, but it will make a massive difference.

Share with YOUR EMPLOYER

Do you work for an organisation that takes incoming or outgoing phone calls from the public? It would be great if you could:

Or, email us at training@stamma.org with contact details for the relevant department in your organisation. We'll get in touch with them.

Donate & fundraise 

We know the campaign looks swish, thanks to the awesome pro bono support we've received from Iris Worldwide, JCDecaux and Pearl & Dean. But if it's going to succeed over the next months and years, we need to put the legwork in by approaching the call centres, pushing our workshops and training, and checking back on them. 

Our staff and volunteers are amazing, but the operation costs money. Money we need to run the workshops, print materials and take calls. 

Help us to make this campaign a success. Please donate or fundraise for STAMMA — download our fundraising pack below to get some ideas.

STAMMA has created a culture which is warm and welcoming from the start. A space where everyone could contribute and share ideas, where everyone felt valued."
