Newbury Speakability Group

Last updated: 04/03/2024

Aphasia affects people in different ways. Many of our group have difficulties with speaking, understanding speech, reading, writing, numbers, dealing with money and telling the time. It doesn’t affect their intelligence. They think in the same way as everyone else but are unable to communicate their thoughts easily. 

People with Aphasia from Newbury, West Berkshire and surrounding areas are welcome in our group. We will help you to build your confidence, develop new skills, make new friends and practice speaking. We also have Speech Therapy.  

Members are supported by a dedicated group of volunteers - the groups are run by and for people with Aphasia.

We meet weekly at 10:30 am:-

  • on the first and third Mondays of the month at the Chequers Hotel in Newbury (address below)
  • on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at Thatcham Garden Centre, Bath Road, Thatcham, RG18 3AN.

Speech Therapy is available every week.
