We believe that fear-free speech for stammerers should be available to all and, if not free, as inexpensive as possible.
Why is
Empowering Voices
a charity?
We want to provide support to stammerers across the UK and to achieve this, as a charity we aim to deliver though the following:
-
Empowering Voices is run by a group of trustees. As trustees, we aim to be democratic.
-
By law, the trustees serve a fixed term and must always conduct themselves in the charity's best interests.
-
The trustees are legally prohibited from making money from their relationship with Empowering Voices. The organisation is run by people with one objective: providing the best possible service to help stammerers.
-
We are a truly non-profit making organisation. Our accounts are scrutinised and published annually on the Charity Commission website. There is complete transparency of where every penny goes.
-
We benefit from charitable tax breaks. We can claim Gift Aid on any personal donations from a UK taxpayer.
-
Companies that donate won't pay tax on the donation amount.
If you would like to support us please feel free to donate by clicking here. All proceeds will help and support those who stammer.
Thank you.
Our Trustees
We are all people who have struggled with their stammers. After learning the costal breathing technique, strong determination and the selfless support of fellow stammerers, we can now speak in a controlled manner and we are able to say what we want, without fear of speaking. We now want to support others to achieve the same.
