Volunteer

Volunteers are the beating heart of Aphasia Support.

Our charity, and the families we support, rely on a community of passionate volunteers who help to deliver 1:1 speech and language therapy and group-based support.

We are always looking for friendly faces to help inspire confidence and encourage progress. If you're interested in building life-changing friendships through our volunteer programme, we would be incredibly grateful for your support.

What our clients say about us....

“I think that Aphasia Support provides an excellent service to people (who request it/advised on) as it’s an extension of the service provide by the NHS that has limitations on budget.”

Alan

“I have found Aphasia Support absolutely invaluable, our volunteer is responsible for how far he has come in the last few months.”

Faye

“The volunteers are very well supported and trained. It’s a great way to help out and an extremely beneficial experience for any aspiring SLTs. Aphasia Support is a very respected and well known charity and their work makes significant impact.”

Dhvani

“My volunteer has been a great help to me. I am beginning to find my communication is markedly better. Sometimes feels like it’s back to normal. I have not felt like this before.”

Bob

“Do it slowly. In your mind you might think ‘I can’t do this’, but it will happen. When I couldn’t speak and could only hear, I had to remind myself to stay calm. Try and relax, every day is another opportunity to improve. Don’t think too far ahead.”

Deborah

“I have improved in so many ways thanks to Aphasia Support. Found renewed interest in life. So grateful.”

Micheal

“I think that Aphasia Support provides an excellent service to people (who request it/advised on) as it’s an extension of the service provide by the NHS that has limitations on budget.”

Judith

“Being able to talk to someone who understands aphasia and what it’s like to live with the condition is something I look forward to – even if it’s just for an hour or two each month. I can understand that it’s difficult to have a conversation with me, but I don’t ever feel that I’m inconveniencing my Aphasia Support volunteer.”

Bertha

“I’m nearing retirement age and I wanted a new challenge. I saw the opportunity on the do-it.org website for a volunteer speech support worker and felt it was an excellent fit for my skill-set and experience. It appeared to be just what I was looking for.”
