The Fluency Trust

The Fluency Trust is a registered charity, who work in partnership with Swindon Borough Council to run highly specialist residential courses for young people who stammer.

The courses are unique in combining intensive speech therapy with outdoor pursuits and led to the development of the award-winning Swindon Packs. These have become a popular resource for Speech and Language Therapists.

The combination of challenging activities and intensive therapy is highly effective in developing confidence and the ability to manage stammering positively.

This model of partnership working between a public service and a charity is good practice and was recognised in the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) inspection of SBC Children’s Health Services in March 2017. They describe the SBC Stammering Services as ‘outstanding’.
