About the trust

A charity called Dom's Fund, has been set up for research into stammering. The fund is in memory of a witty, intelligent and much loved young man for whom the burden of stammering was so great that he took his own life. Most of us take for granted the ability to use the telephone, to ask for what we need when shopping, or to answer questions at a job interview. But people who stammer frequently struggle to make themselves understood - by those who do not recognise the difficulties and frustrations of tammering.
Our Aims

The Dominic Barker Trust fund aims to:

Fund Research Into Stammering
Raise awareness of the issues that surround Stammering
Encourage understanding in people who meet those who are stammering
Devise better programmes to help overcome this disability

Want to Help?

We need public donations and support to continue the work that we do, to improve the lives of those like Dominic who suffer the burden of stammering. Find out more about how you can support the trust’s work in improving the treatment availble to stammer sufferers.

Let's hope that through your contribution people who stammer will be able to say:
"It's good to talk"
