About the charity
Connect is a national charity for people living with aphasia (communication disability) which is often caused by stroke.
Aphasia can strike anyone at any age and at any time. 1 in every 200 people in the UK lives with aphasia and each person experiences it differently. Some people cannot speak at all, some people have just a few words. It affects reading, writing and numbers. Aphasia can lead to lack of confidence, depression, social exclusion – and people can lose their connection with the world.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Our vision is a simple one, we want a world where people with aphasia can re-connect with life again.
