Get into reading
Would you like to escape into a world of fiction? Be whisked away into a land of the classics?
'Get Into Reading' groups are led by trained project workers and volunteers, meeting each week to read books and poems together in locations such as care homes, libraries, prisons, mental health drop-in centres, community centres, schools, hostels, refugee centres and workplaces. Words are read aloud, slowly, taking time over each text, allowing thoughts, connections and understanding to emerge.
Members can choose to join in, or not, and at times the reading will stop to allow some talk about parts of the text, discussing what it might mean, or reflect on similar experiences of their own.
‘Get into reading’ sessions are free but places are limited are on a first come, first served basis. To register your interest in attending, please contact Tracie Lee on 0300 365 1111.
