Happy International Stuttering Awareness Day! 💚

A brilliant strategy day for the 50MV team, hosted by EY at their London Bridge office!
It was energising to get together in person - especially welcoming our Global Coordinator, Shilpa Sagwal, who travelled all the way from India, and our trustee, Chris Gemmell, who came down from Newcastle.
