Lost without Words
The launch of the Lost without Words campaign took place in the North East on 3 and 4 June 2008. This campaign highlights the needs of the estimated 250,000 - 300,000 people in the UK who live with a communication disability following a stroke. We aim to raise awareness of the issues they face and lobby for better services for those affected. Find out more about the Lost without Words campaign
