Talking Takes Off is a new initiative aimed at improving speech and communication in children from 0-5 years old in Luton.

Speech and language provide the solid foundations on which to build the best start in life.

They lead to vital skills which will guide children on a life long journey of socialising, learning and progress as well as helping them to achieve their full potential and wellbeing.

Talking Takes Off is offering practical support to parents, carers to spread the word about the importance of language development by offering a range of tools, resources and workshops.

We are also training volunteers and partners and raising awareness about early language development.

Our aim is to make sure that the importance of communication is a conversation everyone is having.
