1 in 5 children have difficulties with reading and writing

“As a mum whose own child has difficulties, becoming a Parent Champion is not only a great way for me to keep up to date with things that could be relevant to him, but also to keep others in my community in the loop and get my views heard by the decision makers operating in this area”
Abida,
Parent Champion No 1!

PARENT CHAMPIONS

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR PARENTS AND CARERS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

The Dyslexia-SpLD Trust is launching an exciting initiative to recruit a team of Parent Champions across the UK. We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about helping parents and carers of children with dyslexia and specific learning difficulties – and can give an hour a month to help families in their local community.

WE WANT YOU TO BE

OUR VOICE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

To spread the word about the latest information, expertise and resources available through The Dyslexia-SpLD Trust and its member organisations. Find out more

EARS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

To tell us about the issues that Mums and Dads are concerned about so that we make sure we’re supporting families in the very best way possible. Find out more

OUR HEART IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

To be our heart in the local community and to be someone that parents can talk to so that they know they are not on their own. This will help to give Mums and Dads the confidence to make the right choices for their children. Find out more

“Our Parent Champions will play a vital role because they understand the challenges Mums and Dads are facing. We’re not looking for experts. We’re looking for people who care - who know what families are going through and can offer support at a time when many parents feel isolated and are looking for ideas about where to turn for help.”

Tim Mungeam, Chief Executive Springboard for Children, a member of the Dyslexia-SpLD Trust
