Messy handwriting holding them back?

Get Set Write Club - the ONLY handwriting club with a monthly resource box run by an occupational therapist for 11 to 16 year olds.

Because every teen deserves to feel proud of their writing

Do you STRUGGLE to know what your child has written? (And suspect their teachers can't properly mark it?)
Do you secretly know they CANNOT WRITE FAST ENOUGH and fear it will impact their GCSE grades?
Do you want to find a way to improve your childโ€™s handwriting without it ZAPPING THEIR SOUL and self-confidence?
Are you READY TO MAKE SCHOOL LIFE EASIER by letting an expert give them the GIFT of easy to read handwriting?

Real Handwriting Help, Real Progress, Real Confidence Boost

Handwriting help before and after image of students work

"I hear it all the time, you can't teach handwriting to older children. RUBBISH. It is about finding the right person. With the right skills and techniques. Who knows how to capture the attention of a teen."

Sheilagh, founder of Help with Handwriting

Hi, I'm Sheilagh,

My superpower is helping 11โ€“16 year olds feel good about their handwriting again.

Iโ€™m an occupational therapist with over 26 years of experience helping children improve their handwriting, build confidence, and feel proud of what they can do.

Iโ€™ve given over 4,000 handwriting lessons to students in 17 countries, and Iโ€™ve yet to meet a child whose writing couldnโ€™t be helped.

Iโ€™ve written two books (yes, real ones โ€“ published by actual publishers!), and Iโ€™ve been invited to share my expertise on BBC Radio and in The Telegraph.
I even worked as the handwriting advisor for the Peppa Pig series โ€” which still makes me smile.

This club is where I bring everything I know โ€” the science, the fun, the encouragement โ€” to help your child thrive.
