The Leicestershire Dyslexia Association started life as a Dyslexia Support Group in 1985. Thirty years ago there was very little help available for dyslexic young people either in school or otherwise, so parents needed to know how to get support for their children and how to help them at home. In 1989 the parents decided to set up a Dyslexia Workshop, the family atmosphere in the Workshop helps young people and their families feel at ease and after a short time in the workshop the young people start to feel more confident and the boost to their self -esteem is very noticeable. They meet other people who are also dyslexic and that helps them to feel more confident because they realise that they are not the only ones.

The Workshop started with just 3 pupils, which quickly increased to 10. By 1992 we had a waiting list, but we were short of space in our premises at the Woodgate Resource Centre. We had also acquired our first computer with some funding from the Health Authority and we needed a dedicated room to leave it set up. So in 1992 we moved to the hall at Stoneygate Baptist Church and set up our first computer room. Since then we have taken over 2 other rooms off the hall as a second computer room and a library and we also use several other rooms in the church buildings as teaching rooms.

so that some of the younger children could receive specialist teaching support.dyslexicthem- selves, and without their fantastic support, none of it would happen.

Many of our young people have done really well at school despite their difficulties and we have heard of some notable successes from some of our past pupils. At least two have completed a PhD and others are in interesting and responsible jobs.

Thank you Stoneygate Baptist Church for your continued support of our work – here’s to the next 25 years!
