Our CEO, Peter Ackred, has a stammer.
He was in the 2022 @stammer
campaign to highlight misconceptions about stammering.
Peter said: “Never write someone off because they stammer."
Everyone has important things to say, however it flows…

Today, London SLC’s delivered a VI awareness session to @BetterHackney as part of their ongoing work to #MakeHealthAccessible for #Blind & #PartiallySighted customers. The session allowed volunteers to raise awareness of the types of visual impairments and share their ideas so their staff can better support those with sight loss.
“It was surprising how quickly I became overwhelmed by information & the things around me.”
Feedback from one staff member at London @SLCouncils vision awareness session to @BetterHackney today.
It was a great session, sharing how staff can support their BPS customers.
