Support Our Mission

Why your support matters

Acquired communication difficulties, such as aphasia, profoundly impact the lives of individuals and their families. Research in this area is vital for developing better therapies, communication tools, and support systems that help people maintain their identity, independence, and quality of life.

By donating to the Martin Nunn Trust, you directly support students conducting innovative research that explores the lived experiences of people with acquired communication difficulties. Your contribution helps:

• Fund student research: Enable promising students to pursue meaningful research projects that examine the 'whole of life' aspects of communication difficulties.
• Advance understanding: Support studies that prioritise the voices and perspectives of people with acquired communication difficulties and their families.
• Improve clinical practice: Generate research findings that have practical implications for speech-language therapists and other professionals.
• Honour Martin's legacy: Continue Martin Nunn's commitment to improving the lives of people affected by aphasia and related conditions.

How donations are used

All donations to the Martin Nunn Trust are used to support our core mission:

• Awarding the annual Martin Nunn Prize to outstanding student research projects
• Promoting awareness of acquired communication difficulties and related research
• Sharing important research findings with the community and professionals in the field

The administrative functions of operating the Trust are done on a voluntary basis. The donations are used for the prize. We are grateful for those who have contributed to the Trust with their time and expertise.
