About us



  • The Aphasia Alliance is a coalition of key organisations from all over the UK that work in the field of Aphasia. We have united to raise awareness of Aphasia

  • Aphasia is a communication disability that occurs when the language centres of the brain are damaged.  It is usually caused by stroke, but can also be caused by a brain haemorrhage, brain tumour, or other neurological condition.  There are over 250,000 people living with Aphasia in the UK.  A third of people who survive a stroke will have communication difficulties, which means approximately 50,000 new people each year develop Aphasia.
