  • Voices of Aphasia

    Voices of Aphasia Brief Description of Organisation We run accessible choirs for people with aphasia (communication difficulties after stroke or brain injury) to sing together with their loved ones. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Voices of Aphasia’s flagship project, the Bath Aphasia Choir, is an accessible and supportive singing group for people with aphasia and their loved ones to sing together. Aphasia is the term for neurological problems with communication and language,including speech, reading and writing. It can present after a brain injury (including stroke) which causes damage to the parts of the brain responsible for processing andproducing language. One third of people who survive a stroke will be left with aphasia, and a sudden loss of language ability can feel very frustrating and can leave people feeling isolated and depressed. Because music and singing are processed throughout the brain, some people with aphasia find that although they can’t speak fluently, they are still able to sing –particularly familiar songs. We know that singing, particularly in a group, can help to improve people’s mood and emotional wellbeing. This combined benefit has led to the creation of choirs for people with aphasia and other neurological conditions around the world, although ours was one of the first in the UK. Our choir is led by Music Therapists Laura Cook and Denise Wong. Through using accessible materials and communication techniques we support people with aphasia and their loved ones to sing together, and offer a supportive and understanding environment where people can share their experiences, practise their communication skills and make new friends. We sing uplifting and meaningful songs, and offer a safe and understanding space for people with aphasia and those who love and care for them to come together and support each other. The choir has been established for six years, with many founding members still attending. We recently held a fundraising concert with around 50 supporters attending, and currently we have around 20 active choir members joining our weekly choirsessions. We work closely with the Stroke Association and the HCRG Community Stroke and Neuro team in Bath and North East Somerset to signpost people with aphasia to our choir. We have also managed a student placement for MA music therapy students in Bristol, North Somerset and South Glos, in partnership with the Sirona Care and Health Integrated Community Stroke Service. We have previously received funding from St John's Foundation and we are currently supported by Quartet and National Lottery Awards for All. We would love to build more connection with other organisations supporting health and wellbeing through music and creative arts, and those involved in social prescribing initiatives. Please do get in touch through the 3SG website or email voicesofaphasia@gmail.com to get in touch with Laura and Denise!
