Aphasia Cafe Volunteer
Volunteers are the beating heart of Aphasia Support. Every single day, they make a life-changing difference to the people, families and communities we support.
As demand for our service grows, we're on the lookout for exceptional individuals to join our in-person volunteer team. Your time and skills will help people with aphasia to communicate with confidence, reconnect with their loved ones, and live life to the fullest.
As an Aphasia Café Volunteer, you’ll play a key part in creating a warm and welcoming space for people with aphasia and their loved ones. After receiving training from our expert team, you’ll travel to your local Aphasia Café to greet clients and help them feel at ease. Working alongside the Session Leader, you’ll provide friendly support with group activities designed to build confidence, encourage communication and strengthen connections. Every visit is an opportunity to make people feel included, supported and understood.
