I read in a shared reading group as a reader leader volunteer for Thereader.org.uk I started as a member and wanted to give something back because it made me feel so much better. Confident and less anxious. I wanted to help others to feel like that and help to show reading can help you to relax and just have some me time is ok .i have grown to love my groups I run 4 different setting groups 2 mental health setting closed and 2 open for anyone to join us anytime. I love all our characters the knowledge the readers bring with them, their stories the fruit platters I put out for them, getting told off for getting the drink order wrong. My adult learners that mix with the regular public group 2 are amazing a massively diverse group but- it works
We are al like friends we are all members I just happen to take the materials along 👍 I provide all refreshments myself lots of fruit and every drink you can think of. You are most welcome to our open group if you would like to send a visitor just message me and I can arrange it with you🌈🌈
