Why Run for Say Aphasia?

Aphasia is a communication disability that occurs when the brain’s communication centres are damaged, often due to a stroke, head injury, or brain tumour. It affects the ability to speak, understand language, read, and write, leading to feelings of isolation and frustration. Say Aphasia is the only UK charity run by people with aphasia, offering unique peer-led support to help individuals regain their independence and confidence.

By joining our team, you will:

• Raise Awareness: Help increase understanding of aphasia, a condition that affects over 350,000 people in the UK.
• Provide Support: Enable the continuation and expansion of drop-in groups and online sessions, offering vital social interaction and support for those with aphasia.
• Make a Difference: Contribute to reducing loneliness and improving the quality of life for individuals living with aphasia.

Every step you take and every pound you raise will directly support individuals with aphasia, providing them with resources, community, and hope.

Your participation will help Say Aphasia continue its mission to offer peer-led support and reduce the isolation often experienced by those with this condition.

Join us in making a meaningful difference. Together, we can help those with aphasia find their voice again.
