Adding our heartfelt congrats--Brava, Elaine!!

Congratulations to Elaine Kelman MBE!
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Elaine Kelman, retired Head of the Michael Palin Centre, on being awarded an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) on order of the King, in recognition of her outstanding service to children and families.
Throughout her remarkable career Elaine’s compassion, dedication and leadership has transformed the lives of countless children and adults who stammer, helping them find their voice, build confidence, and thrive.
This honour is a wonderful recognition of everything Elaine has given over her years with the NHS and the MPC. We feel very lucky to have worked alongside such an inspiring person and to share in this proud moment.
Please join us in congratulating Elaine on this fantastic and well-deserved achievement.
Elaine also shared her thoughts:
“I am so grateful for this award which is the icing on the cake for me following many years at the Michael Palin Centre. It was such a gift to see so many wonderful children who stammer flourish because of the expert support from the talented and dedicated team. I feel privileged to have been involved in such important, life-changing work and I am delighted that my award shines a light on all we did together.”
