The Stroke Association Northern Ireland
The Stroke Association Northern Ireland (formerly Speechmatters) was established in Northern Ireland in January 2009. We are a community-based charity providing vital, high quality, professionally led services for stroke survivors, people living with aphasia, their carers, and families right across Northern Ireland. This includes:
- Life After Stroke Services Pathway
- Speech and Language Therapy
- Information, Advice and Support Services
- Communication Support Groups, and
- Training Packages.
We currently run seventeen Communication Support Groups throughout Northern Ireland. We also campaign, educate and inform to increase knowledge and understanding of stroke at all levels of society.
We are the voice for everyone affected by stroke in Northern Ireland.
