How we help people with aphasia and their carers
Speakeasy is for people living with aphasia. Our mission is to make a positive difference to the lives of people who have aphasia and their carers. To achieve this we provide support for people when they need it, for as long as they want it and in a pattern that suits them.
Our members are both people with aphasia and also their carers all help us to design our work so that we have a range of activities which suit people’s needs. These therapeutic activities are designed by our specialist speech and language therapists and staff with aphasia to assist with building skills and confidence, and improving communication. Our activities are varied, change regularly and are all purposeful, we definitely don’t do time filling activity at Speakeasy and a lot of background work goes into making the activity have maximum impact. Have a look at our News page for anything coming up and check out our What’s on at Speakeasy page for information about our recent and planned activities.
