Ep 20. is with the CEO of Vessels of Hope, Dr Tracy Johnson. Tracy is a self professed lover of learning. Now a teacher and lecturer herself it was her innate curiosity and pervading love of knowledge which served as a beacon of hope in the problematic circumstances of her schooling. Underfunding, teachers insufficiently aware of the problems a dyslexic child faces and insensitive class mates were just a few obstacles she had to navigate. She uses the pain she endured to help children and adults with dyslexia avoid those same hardships. Vessels of Hope is a non profit organisation Tracy founded to help support similarly low income individuals with learning differences particularly with dyslexia. They lead workshops, spread awareness and empower children and adults with dyslexia. Funding from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund (distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund) has helped the Dyslexia Foundation make this podcast. Find out more at dyslexia-help.org
