Jen Whitfield leads the centre, along with Caroline Haw and Emma Gregory. Jen's email is: jen.whitfield@sheffield.ac.uk We are all experienced Speech and Language Therapists and work at the University of Sheffield.
About eight people with aphasia come to each clinic session. Most people had a stroke some years ago. Some had a different kind of brain injury. They all come to work on their personal goals and meet other people in a relaxed environment.
Families can volunteer to help out for example in the café. They are also welcome to attend a session to learn about the aims and how to help.
Speech and Language Therapy students work with the clients. Students are supervised by specialist SLTs who work in the department.
Trained volunteers help out and make the café run well. They enjoy meeting people and making a difference.
