Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity

Empowering children and adults with dyslexia


Left undiagnosed and unsupported, dyslexia negatively impacts children and young people. It affects their self-esteem. Their ability to learn. Their life chances.

With your support, Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity can remove barriers to learning and life for children, young people and adults with dyslexia by providing expert, personal and life-changing support.

The charity supports children, young people and adults through specialist assessments, tuition and training as well as courses, information and advice.

We also support parents of dyslexic children, their teachers, and employers of dyslexic staff.

Following our founder Helen’s mantra, to help people regardless of their ability to pay, we provide free support to many individuals from lower- income backgrounds.

The impact of our work is life changing, helping people grow in confidence and explore their areas of strength rather than giving up on life, branded as lazy or underachieving.

Our aim is to empower people with dyslexia to believe in themselves, achieve their goals and succeed on their own terms.
