Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As many of you know I'm a Speech and Language Therapist. I work with adults with acquired communication and swallowing disorders. A large proportion of my patients are people who have suffered a stroke or head injury and as a result have aphasia. This means they have difficulty getting messages in and / or out. Imagine not being able to say what you're thinking or not being able to understand what someone is saying to you.
Speech and Language Therapy is an essential part of a person's rehabiliation. However, there are some things that we just can't achieve in therapy sessions. This is where Connect comes in. Connect provide a range of services to help people with aphasia 're-connect' with life again.
I'm here to ask for donations however big or small to help support this fantastic charity. However, if you don't have any spare ££'s or $$'s to donate please take the time to check out the Connect website http://www.ukconnect.org/ and learn a little bit about aphasia and the work Connect does to support people with this communication disability.
A note on donating: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
