For at least 1.9 million children in the UK, learning to talk and understand words feels like an impossible hurdle.  So we give children and young people the skills they need so they aren’t left behind, waiting to be understood.  

Our vision

Every child who is facing challenges with talking and understanding words can look to the future with confidence.

Our mission

We give children and young people the skills they need so they aren’t left behind, waiting to be understood. 

We do this by creating tools for schools and nurseries, giving advice and guidance to families and putting pressure on politicians.

For children struggling to talk and understand words, their whole lives are affected if they don’t get the help they need. They feel disconnected from their family. Unable to make friends. Unfairly punished for not following instructions they don’t understand. What does the future hold for them?

We must help more children, so that every child has the skills to face the future.
