FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jane Powell, CEO at STAMMA said:
“Our partnership with THRYVE is timely. Our Space to Stammer strategy is focused on highlighting the inadvertent barriers which often face people who stammer - the assumption of nervousness, the use of phones, the difficulties many face in saying their name. We’re delighted to be working with THRYVE to create practices when enable everyone who stammers can show their real talent.”
John Lennon, Founder and Managing Director at THRYVE said
“At THRYVE, we talk and listen to thousands of people changing jobs or growing their team and business. They are all different, we are all different. This is why making space for different ways of talking and fluency is essential for the recruitment sector if we are to get the best talent in the roles they can excel in.”
“As a person who stammers, I’m thrilled we are marking our 10th anniversary with a new partnership with STAMMA. The team at THRYVE is looking forward to learning more about disfluency, fundraising and ultimately giving back to the communities we serve.”

Our Purpose
STAMMA exists to create a world that makes space for stammering. Where it's embraced as just a difference. Where no-one judges your stammer or the way you choose to deal with it. We’ll get there by bringing people together, whether they stammer or not, to propel a movement for change.
We will stand up for and embolden those who stammer, provide support and information, and challenge discrimination wherever we find it. We’ll fight for NHS speech and language therapy services for those want it.
Stammering is not a sign of being drunk, dishonest, nervous or weak. It’s simply how some of us talk.
