Building communities through Shared Reading

Do you want to make a difference in your community? Do you like meeting new people and sharing your thoughts and ideas? the Reader organisation will be hosting a free Shared Reading Coffee Morning at Roby Community Hub on Monday 27 November 2017 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.

The group are inviting local people to drop in for their Shared Reading sessions and to find out more.

The Reader is an award-winning, charitable social enterprise which brings people together, changes lives and builds communities through sharing great literature. Their unique Shared Reading model brings small groups together each week to read aloud a story and poem with group discussion led by a trained Reader Leader.

For over a decade The Reader has been working in partnership with CCGs, Public Health Bodies and NHS Trusts across the UK to support thousands of people with a wide range of health and social issues including, mental health conditions, dementia, chronic pain, isolation and recovery from substance misuse.

Whether delivered by volunteers or Reader staff, Shared Reading offers people a practical way to improve well-being, build confidence and connect with others.
