The University of Huddersfield student, who moved to Hemsworth from Gambia in 2004, said: “When I came I had a stammer and most of my peers at school thought it was the language barrier and it wasn’t.”

He added that the programme “shows how the four-day course works and how we help them overcome their stammer and the different techniques”.
