Can you imagine what it would be like if you couldn't understand speech? How would you cope? We all hope that our children will be able to talk to us, but for some children this can be a problem.

Makaton maybe the answer. Makaton uses signs and symbols to teach communication, language and literacy skills to people with communication and learning difficulties. It can also be used in the development and communication in young babies/children to get their message across (baby sign). For further information visit the Makaton website HERE.

What is H4H all about? It's about the blokes. It's about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it's about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It's about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes. - Bryn Parry Appeal Chairman
