A visit from Michael Palin is always a fun start to a children’s intensive group!
Asked ‘What’s your favourite book?’, about his travels and 30-year support for the MPC, Michael then joined in a ‘guess the animal’ game.
We help children who stammer become confident communicators who live life to the full. And have fun along the way!
