  1. About us

About us

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.

  • Why we exist

    Why we exist

    This charity knows first hand the confusion, frustration and change that a stroke can have on a person and their family. We know that aphasia is not only a result of a stroke, but also head injury, brain haemorrhage, or a brain tumour. That is why we are focused on supporting anyone with aphasia or similar conditions. We have many people who come regularly to our drop in groups who have aphasia, dysarthria and apraxia.
