Connect's culture of working in partnership with service users is an inspiration, and I look forward to seeing more Connect's model of support in the next decade.

Connect has made me what I am now. More confident. Happier. It's part of my life. Connect has restored me.

It has been a pleasure to watch Connect develop over the last ten years. Connect seems to 'fill the gap', and offers services that people with aphasia really want and need.

It's enlightened my life. It's given me drive.

Ken Cording, who has aphasia

Put simply, Connect gave me my life back.

Miguel de Sampaio, who has aphasia

Aphasia can make you feel very isolated and alone. Connect helps me to be involved and a part of the community again.

Simon Prior, who has aphasia

It's magic. We are 'allowed' to speak here. We have everything to get going.

It's a necessity - for life.
