About the trust

Known as Dom's Fund, the Trust was set up in 1997 to fund research into stammering. The Trust 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 stammering.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

In September 2010, the Trust  supported training by the Michael Palin Centre for Suffolk Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs).  The training provides a structured approach to treating dysfluency and clinicians commented that it has been extremely beneficial.  This collaboration builds on Dom's Fund's previous support for early intervention treatment for children who stammer, by providing video cameras and laptops to Suffolk SLTs.
