CHARITY OF THE YEAR

Find A Voice, based in Ashford, works with children who suffer with severe speech and communication difficulties. It works in a sympathetic and patient way, improving the lives of many in a profound way.

Staff visit specialist schools with an array of toys and gadgets to help the cognitive and communicative development of children.

It offers a library-style system so schools can try before they buy which helps them to save money.
