Malcolm got aphasia following a single punch on a night out in Newcastle.
Aphasia is a journey of twists and turns. Highs and lows.
You move forward a step then fall back two
Friends are support - we all help each other to keep moving forward 💪 💪 💪

Paul finds it hard to say words.
But he has found other ways to communicate - writing, drawing, gesture.

Kat had a stroke 6 days after giving birth to her son.
It’s been a long, hard fight but aphasia is not winning!
Last year she took her first post stroke holiday - Ibiza! ☀️
She takes her son to school every day 💕
Kat is always active supporting NETA!

Usually the first sign that Jackie has arrived at NETA is the sound of her fantastic laugh!
Jackie takes her electric chair on the bus to come to NETA each week
Jackie finds it hard to say any words but she is a powerful communicator. Here is her story: youtu.be/nfj9yQEwlOc?feature…
I’ve got aphasia but aphasia has not got me!
Aphasia is part of the tapestry of our lives that has drawn us together.
It’s part of us but does not define us.
We’ve been celebrating life with/despite #aphasia
We are survivors, thrivers, inspirers!
