Speakeasy is in the 35th year of providing award-winning activity improving the lives of people affected by aphasia.

Can you raise £35 or multiples over this next year to help us celebrate this milestone?

You may have some ideas of how to do this but we have plenty of ideas to share if you get stuck. We can make it easier for you with things to help: leaflets, video clips, giftaid forms, collection buckets & boxes, etc.

Get in touch to let us know how you’d like to get involved!

Speakeasy is supporting the new government workplace initiative Disability Confident, a scheme which aims to highlight and recognise employers’ commitment to championing disabled people’s potential within their organisation.

The first level of the scheme recognises employers who have read, and committed to the principals, such as promoting employment, training and empowerment of disabled people in the workplace. It is known as Disability Confident Committed and allows firms to display this logo.

The second level of accreditation is awarded for firms hat actively promote and employ disabled people through apprentice scheme, training, work experience and paid employment. With its track record of innovative employment practices, inclusion and education, Speakeasy expects to qualify for Level 2 – Disability Confident Employer.
