Our Aims
At the heart of the Aphasia Café is confidence, communication, and community.
Communication and Skill Development
Give people with aphasia the chance to practise communication in small, supportive groups.
Encourage communication through activities where talking or expressing yourself is part of the fun, rather than the focus.
Use evidence-based techniques, guided by qualified speech and language therapists.
Community, Support, and Well-being
Help members connect more easily with family, friends, and the wider community.
Provide a welcoming space after formal therapy has ended.
Build friendships and enhance well-being through shared experiences.
Offer opportunities to try new activities as part of a broader “Living with Aphasia” programme.
Partner and Family Support
Create a space where partners and family members can share experiences and support each other.
Provide Conversation Partner Training (CPT) so partners feel more confident in everyday communication.
