This is Steve. Steve is a Wave Project Scotland legend and he's on a mission to cycle to all the Wave Project locations in the UK. As well as bringing his own brand of Steve Stoke to sessions across the UK, he is raising funds for the Wave Project along the way. I know we are bombarded with fundraising requests these days but the Wave Project really is a good cause. If you have a spare fiver kicking about, please send it Steve's way 🫶🏽💙🚴‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️

Ever wondered why independent SLT is priced as it is? Here is a new copy of an assessment stimulus book I had to buy as the old one was so well used it was falling to bits. A 110 page picture book costs £212 and that doesn't include the non-photocopiable record forms (approx £5 each)! 😵 AND this is only one of a range of about 10 assessments I use regularly to look at different areas of communication. AND it's actually one of the cheaper assessments 🤑 Remember that NHS services also face these costs, they are just hidden from view...
