We’ve just had our last Talkabout communication cafe of 2020, it was festive and fabulous. Seeing so many happy faces through the year, has made me so excited for 2021. A big thank you to Nestle for helping us help as many people with communication difficulties as possible.

Wednesday writes has really helped increase writing confidence and social connection. Let me know if you can think of anyone who would enjoy this. ⁦Elisabeth Hibbard⁩ ⁦Nichola Charalambou⁩

We are closing this survey on aphasia & telehealth soon. Thanks to the 75 SLTs who have completed this survey. Help us get > 100 UK SLTs to respond. It will take no more than 5 mins. Click this link to participate: cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e9… You can even do it on your phone!

I am so proud of the Talkabout team and all of the people who have been part of the cafe. A massive thank you to RCSLT 💙 for recognising this Josh McDonagh Elisabeth Hibbard SLT at Leeds Beckett

I am thrilled to receive a Rising Star Award from the Shaw Trust. However, it does focus the mind on how inaccessible the world still is, and there is still lots of work to do. Congratulations to all those who have also been recognised today. #disabilitypower100
