On 6th September, I’ll be taking part in #ItsHowWeWalk, a 43 mile walk — almost double my furthest distance — to help raise funds for my favourite charity, @stammer with the lovely @deanridge and lots of my family justgiving.com/page/nic-madd…

Another great walk around Hollingworth Lake and the Rochdale Canal. Perfect weather for a walk, not too hot, in a beautiful area with fantastic friends, new and old. If you've not been walking with us, you're missing out! #walkandtalk

Our Deputy CEO Kirsten Howells was on BBC Breakfast this morning, talking about the barriers people who stammer face when engaging with customer-facing organisations (think: cafes, banks, helplines), and how simple it is to enact small yet important changes to their processes. 🧵

Brilliant Striders walk today in the sunshine in the Churnet Valley. Thanks to Bob and Hilary for joining us. We promised cake, and boy did we deliver today, a lemon meringue pie as big as Dean’s head! Watch out for a Stamma Striders surprise at @stammafest 🤫
