Say Aphasia
The Say Aphasia Charity provides supportive drop-in groups for people with aphasia in the UK. It is run by people with aphasia for people with aphasia.
Aphasia is not a well known condition and so people with this communication disability can feel alone and isolated from their community.
Our aim is to provide continuous support in a social environment with people who are experiencing similar life changes.
Our charity makes a difference to people living with aphasia by:
- Offering companionship and support
- Helping to adjust to living with aphasia.
- Meeting people who are experiencing a similar life change.
- Making new life long friends.
- Gaining tips and advice from others with aphasia.
- Gaining confidence to socialise and communicate as best they can.
- Re-gaining independence as much as they can.
- Helping to reduce loneliness.
- Providing support in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
- Offering art class and singing class as a therapeutic way to relax and express themselves.
