" Kirsty has been visiting our nursery weekly for over two years now. Our children really look forward to Kirsty coming to do baby signing. They use a new set of Makaton signs each week, which are supported through singing, parachute games and using musical instruments. The sessions are well planned, and the signs implemented are meaningful to the children. We have noticed some of the children spontaneously use Makaton signs to support their speech and language. Definitely recommend! "

"My son's preschool has Kirsty come in weekly, it's my little boys favourite thing!! He comes home every week having learned something different and proudly showing me how to sign a new word or phrase. Great for his confidence."
Katie Morris
" We first had Kirsty come to our pre-school in 2019 and since then we have been hoping for some funds to enable us to have her back again. We were fortunate that this year we were able to have her back and she was just as brilliant as ever! The sessions are fun and varied and the children are fully engaged with all the different songs and activities. We were so inspired by our sessions that staff have gone on to gain their own Makaton qualifications and gain Makaton friendly status for our setting as Kirsty showed us what a lifeline Makaton can be for children with speech or hearing issues. I cannot recommend baby signing or Kirsty highly enough and I hope to be able to have some sessions each year for my setting from now on. "

MISSON STATEMENT
We empower everyone to have a voice by transforming communication through engaging courses. Utilising a specialised language programme, we break down barriers and support those with communication challenges, ensuring that every individual’s needs are heard and understood.
VALUES
Inclusion - Everybody should be able to communicate in the way that is effective for them, so we encourage all businesses and communities to make themselves as accessible and inclusive as possible. We may not all communicate verbally, but those who do not, still have a voice and a right for it to be respected and listened to.
Compassion – We have a responsibility to recognise the challenges that others face and take steps to connect with, and support that person or community.
Equality – Everybody should have equal access to engage in activities, experiences and opportunities.
VISION STATEMENT
We strive to facilitate the delivery of classes across the Country, enabling all families to access communication support.
We recognise that effective communication is a transactional system, in order to meet the needs of all parties. We believe that everyone should be given the tools they need to be able to express their needs, wants and opinions. Building social relationships is part of what makes us human. We should all have access to experiences, that will allow our relationships with others to flourish.
