Connect is a charity for people living with aphasia, a communication disability which usually occurs after stroke.
We aim to improve the lives of people living with aphasia and communication disability, equipping them to re-connect with life.
We:

• provide training and consultancy to a wide range of service providers;
• provide information and support to help everyone understand aphasia and its impact;
• champion the rights of people with aphasia and communication disability.
