The Communication Trust, which campaigns for children with speech and communication needs, has expressed concern about the closure of The ACE Centre in Headington.

The centre, which has been going for 30 years, provides technology for children and adults with communication difficulties but is set to close at the end of June due to financial difficulties.

Anita Kerwin-Nye, director of The Communication Trust, said: “It is very sad and deeply concerning to be losing such an expert skill-set on delivering specialist services.”
