Provides support to people whose understanding and expression of language (both written and spoken) has been affected following a stroke. A full-time organiser, together with teams of trained volunteers, provides a home visiting service and weekly group sessions where people with dysphasia can practice communication skills in a safe and supportive environment.   The service provides home visits and group activities including day trips, social events and holidays, and participates in Stroke Awareness Week in October.  Referrals to the service are usually made via a speech and language therapist but self referrals and referrals from other agencies will be considered (although these are subject to assessment by speech and language therapist).
