This year our fundraising appeal is to raise the funds we need to continue providing our free Helpline and Advice service. We receive thousands of calls and it costs us approximately £30,000 a year to give this support. Research has shown that dyslexia affects 10% of the population with 4% of the population being severely affected. That’s approximately 6 million people in the UK. Yet many dyslexics pass through the education system without ever having their dyslexia identified. Instead they struggle through education and life, often thinking they are ‘thick’ or ‘stupid’. People with unidentified dyslexia often suffer from feelings of failure, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and under performance in education and at work. They need our help and we need yours. Please support us, thank you. If you would like to talk to someone about raising funds for our charity, then please contact: Dee Caunt - Chief Executive - [email protected]
