Our Stroke Support Helpline is now even more accessible! 📞
Thanks to our recent partnership with SignVideo by Sorenson, every stroke survivor who is deaf or hard of hearing can contact our Stroke Support Helpine via video call, supported by a BSL interpreter. 📺
I keep on forgetting to take a picture of my rock for #RockingAphasia. It looks very bright & sunny at my local allotment in Glasgow. Huge shout out to the amazing @RockingAphasia team this year who have done such a fantastic job. Let's continue talking about aphasia all year.
