Join our Shared Reading groups and enjoy stories and poetry in a completely new way. The group leader will read aloud and then we talk about what we have read.  

Expect lively conversation and thoughtful discussion. Expect surprises and a new appreciation of the power of words.

Shared reading is suitable for all ages and abilities, including those with early stage dementia and carers.

Our virtual groups meet using Microsoft Teams or Zoom, which is easy to use and free.
