A group in Cwmbran is helping stroke survivors find their voices again – one friendly cuppa at a time.
Say Aphasia Cwmbran meets every month at Carro Lounge in Gwent Square, offering a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone living with aphasia, a communication disability that often follows a stroke or brain injury. For many people, it means knowing exactly what they want to say, but being unable to get the words out – something that can feel incredibly isolating.
The group is run by Peer Leaders Ray and Laura, with support from Cassie, and the focus is simple: no pressure, just support, conversation and company. It’s not a medical session – it’s a social morning open to survivors, carers and family members.
When and where
- The first Tuesday of every month
- 10.30am-12pm
- Carro Lounge, Gwent Square
For those who can’t make it in person, Say Aphasia also runs a regular online session so people can join from home- link to more info in the comments.
