Innovation projects

Access to Life in Cornwall

The Access to Life project in Cornwall, in association with The Tavistock Trust for Aphasia aims to change the range and length of time services are available to people living with stroke and aphasia.

Conversation Toolkit

This project aims to increase the conversation opportunities available to older people who have aphasia.

Connect-ed

This aphasia-led project is about developing ways for people with aphasia to become 'active citizens.

Health Talk

We want to help primary care professionals and people with communication difficulties to understand one another better.

Improving Family Support Services

The aim is to develop a range of Family Support services by involving relatives in shaping and delivering them.

Information and Introductions Project

People with aphasia and their relatives often find it difficult to access clear, meaningful information about aphasia. The project will enable people with aphasa to access information and get support.

Peer Support for People Living with Stroke

Working together with service providers, service users and other community contacts across Lambeth & Southwark this project is developing a stroke peer support scheme.

Taking Control

Self-management is when you live with a long term condition such as aphasia. Self management is about taking control by building confidence, getting more out of life, action planning to manage your symptoms and your health.
