Meeting two of our admirable volunteers

Charlie and Sheelagh at the Grand Opening of EST Belfast

I attended the official opening of our Belfast Centre last week, 23rd June, and met two of our fantastic volunteers there.

Sheelagh and Charlie Feely made me feel so welcome and, like everyone that day, were very happy to be involved in the special occasion, attended by Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal.

Tune in to ITV today!

Edward now has a voice

Edward is five years old and started attending EST Leeds in September 2008. He will be featuring on This Morning's breakfast show between 10.30am and 12.30pm today on ITV, along with his mum and dad.

Edward rides on a weekly basis with three other children from Yeadon's Westfield Infant School. Edward has been referred to the Centre as a 'selective mute' and on entering school in September would not communicate in school. Since attending the Centre with his class mates on open days and coming along to the Saturday Club, Edward has begun to talk to adults and his peers.
