Reading for Wellbeing
We offer the companionship of like-minded people in a safe, confidential setting where you can lose yourself in a book, escape from the everyday, make friends and find a listening ear. So, whatever interests you, entertains you or makes you laugh, why not come along to one of our face-to-face sessions in Newbiggin, Ashington and Lynemouth. Or contact our team for a one-to-one telephone or online session - available across the whole of Northumberland.
No one’s saying reading can cure illness or disease, but what it can do is provide a much-needed period of rest and relief.
Please get in touch if you would like to come along!
