Aphasia awareness

250,000 people in the UK have aphasia, and yet many people have never heard of it. Connect is committed to raising awareness about aphasia, so more people can understand how it affects people's lives.

Please help us spread the word about aphasia, so people know what it is and what to do when they encounter it.

5 simple ways you can spread the word

1. Tell people about aphasia, what it is and what to do when you encounter it.

2. Tell people about Connect and what a difference we make. Share the link to our DVDs so people can see what people with aphasia say about us.

3. Encourage people with aphasia to sign up for our newsletter

4. Join us on Facebook and Twitter

5. Help us raise funds so we can do more!

In June 2011, to coincide with aphasia awareness month, Connect launched our 'Fantastic 50 Fundraising Challenge'. We want 50 people to raise £500 and help more people to understand aphasia. For more information and inspiration see How to help.
