A Farnham charity wants to know “What’s your story?” as it celebrates Dyslexia Awareness Week 2024.
Helen Arkell, a dyslexia charity is proud to announce this year’s event from October 7 to October 13.
This year's theme, ‘What’s Your Story?’, invites individuals to share their journeys with dyslexia to raise awareness of the strengths and experiences it can bring.
The celebration will bring inspiring stories from people across different walks of life who have dyslexia. These stories will shed light on how individuals overcome the challenges in their personal and professional lives to be the person they are today.
Helen Arkell encourages people to get involved by submitting their own stories. Those interested in sharing their experience can visit the website to find out more or email [email protected].
