For the latest updates on what we've been up to, sign up to our newsletter! Local Healthwatch helps people get the best out of their local health and social care services; whether it’s improving them today or helping to shape them for tomorrow. Local Healthwatch is all about local voices being able to influence the delivery and design of local services that they use. We provide people with information, advice and support about local health and social care services. We gather views and experiences of local people on the way services are delivered and provided. We influence local services based on the evidence that we gather and through our position on the Health and Wellbeing Board in the city. We work with other Healthwatch organisations to build a national picture of people’s views on health and social care services. We offer support and guidance to those people that wish to make a complaint about NHS care. Healthwatch Portsmouth is made up of local people who want to get involved in improving services. Anyone can join and help

📢 A new aphasia drop-in group is starting in Cosham.

Aphasia makes it harder to speak, read, write or understand words. It’s often caused by a stroke or brain injury. It doesn’t affect intelligence, but it can leave people feeling very alone.

Say Aphasia, a national charity, is running a monthly group in Portsmouth. You can come along with your carer or family. It’s a friendly, relaxed space to share experiences, build confidence and make friends.

📅 First meeting: Tuesday 3 November 2026
🕥 Every first Tuesday of the month, 10:30am to 12:30pm
📍 Link Room, Cosham Baptist Church, 48 Havant Road, Cosham, PO6 2QZ
💷 Free. Just drop in. You don’t need to book.
♿ Wheelchair accessible, with disabled parking nearby

Tag a friend or family member who might want to come along!
