Supporting people with aphasia after stroke

Your support will change the lives of stroke recoverers with aphasia by funding the provision of TALK services across Surrey.

Following government advice, we have temporarily closed our groups. We have also stopped any public-facing activities for the time being.

We understand that this decision will be disappointing, but our main priority is the well-being of our recovers, volunteers, carers and families. We will still provide support to all our TALK members.
