Aphasia Support Group in Oxford – Volunteers & Promotion

About Aphasia Support Group in Oxford – Volunteers & Promotion

A welcoming social drop-in for adults with aphasia (or other acquired communication disabilities) to meet others, build confidence and reduce isolation. Groups are run by people with aphasia, for people with aphasia.

The Say Aphasia charity provides support groups across the UK for people with aphasia; a language and communication disability caused by a brain injury like a stroke. Aphasia affects over 350,000 people in the UK but is little understood or known about by the public.

It is the only aphasia charity set up by people with aphasia for people with aphasia; helping them to adapt to their new way of life and regain their independence and confidence.

Aphasia occurs due to injury to the brain such as a stroke. It affects access to language, resulting in difficulties following conversations, speaking, reading and writing.

Group Purpose

• To bring people with aphasia or other acquired communication disability together.
• To help people with aphasia to feel less isolated within their community, and feel more confident living with aphasia.
• To provide a safe place where aphasia is understood.
• To provide a supportive place for people with aphasia to have conversations and socialise.

Volunteers Needed

There is a need for friendly volunteers who can:

• Welcome attendees
• facilitate conversation
• Help with refreshments
• Assist with simple admin or setting up the room

No experience is required — full guidance is provided, and volunteers usually help once or twice a month. It’s a meaningful, rewarding way to support adults rebuilding communication and social confidence.
