Shared Reading

20 Jan

ARCC runs a Shared Reading project in partnership with “The Reader” a national charity that aims to bring about a reading revolution so that everyone can experience and enjoy great literature.

We have a dedicated volunteer that takes lead in arranging the weekly reading sessions from our office premises every Thursday from 1pm - 2pm. The idea of the project is to have small groups of people reading short passages from a book or poems aloud and discuss their understanding and emotions around the piece.

The sessions enable people to meet from their local neighbourhood to come together and make friends, thus reducing social isolation and loneliness. For further details about this initiative you can visit the website for The Reader by clicking HERE.
