Voices of Aphasia is a Southwest-based charity delivering specialist accessible choirs for people affected by aphasia (communication difficulties after stroke or brain injury). People with aphasia can have difficulty speaking but can often still sing fluently. Singing, particularly in a group, can help improve people’s mood and emotional wellbeing.
Our choirs connect and support people with aphasia and their carers, family and friends, especially for those who might be unable to access other singing groups and choirs.
What do we do?
- Weekly aphasia choir sessions, both on Zoom and in-person, in Bath and Bristol (coming soon in Wiltshire!)
- Regular Performances
- Awareness raising presentations about Aphasia and the power of music
