On Sat 27 July we'll be at @fest_tri -our 2nd time at this great community festival! Come down to Riverside Park by the Cobden Bridge & meet our team from the East. Learn about us & play our Pick A Stick game with prizes for children! #CommunityFestival #adultliteracy 😃📚👋
Isabelle coaches in Central Library & loves finding free resources on Pintrest! "The coaching experience is very rewarding & I feel I'm doing something useful. My reader is progressing slowly but surely due to her dyslexia- it doesn't matter how long it takes." #VolunteersWeek 💪
Over in #NewMilton Coach Sue says: "I'm new to the scheme - my first Reader is putting an impressive amount of effort into our sessions. He brings a high level of concentration and application each time and I'm so pleased to be part of his reading journey!" #VolunteersWeek 😀📚
Our coach Hilary: “I’ve been volunteering for 7 months now, helping an adult learn to read in @HytheLibrary It's a lovely friendly space & we both enjoy our twice-weekly sessions. My reader says: “After 7 months it feels great, & it’s getting easier." #VolunteersWeek 😀🎉
It's #VolunteersWeek & we are a day late getting started. We want to say massive THANK YOU to all our amazing Coaches & Management Team. You all make a huge difference to those who need help with reading & we send our heartfelt thanks for all that you do! #VolunteeringWeek 👏😀
For our final book - our coach Susan says: “I'm really enjoying 'Jamrach's Menagerie' by Carol Birch. It's an adventure story set in 19th Century London and on the high seas - not my usual genre - but I'm hooked!” 😃#ReadingHour #WorldBookNight
Our coach Maggie says: “I've just finished "The Black Dress" by Deborah Moggach, about a woman in her 70s, recently dumped by her husband, who ends up at the wrong funeral & uses this to find a new man. Hilarious, with some very dark twists." #ReadingHour #WorldBookNight 😄
Publicity Organiser Linda is loving London Lies Beneath by Stella Duffy. “Set in the slums of south London in 1912, following the hopes & dreams of 3 boys obsessed with becoming scouts & sailing down the Thames. There is a rich cast of characters to enjoy & I'm captivated!" 📚😃
Our first book is The Unexpected Return of Josephine Cox by Claire Gradidge. Sian our Coordinator for Totton & Hythe is loving this: “Set in the Second World War with a murder to be solved in Romsey, this is a local drama - what could be better?" #ReadingHour 😃📚#WorldBookNight
It's #WorldBookNight tonight, which celebrates the love of reading a very good book! 😃Here is a link worldbooknight.org Tonight between 7-8pm we'll be sharing what some of our coaches & team are currently reading, so look out for our posts during the #ReadingHour 📚😊
Today is #WorldHealthDay2024 🏥💊🩺⛹️♂️Reading is of vital importance for understanding health. Being unable to read advice from health care providers, not understanding side effects or instructions, or feeling helpless to research a condition all contribute to a lot of stress.

Reading is not only an essential life skill but a gateway to creativity & self-exploration. “Activities such as singing, dancing, crafts or reading a good book boost our mood and creativity and are essential wellbeing tools.” Dr Tola Dabiri- Arts & Culture Lead at @NASPTweets
We had an enjoyable time at the HIOW Social Prescribing Showcase organised by @cfirstorg Ali joined with Lucy from @ReadEasyWinch - it was great to meet so many social prescribers from across Hampshire & find out if we can support some of their users. #SocialPrescribingDay 😊
Today is #SocialPrescribingDay which is, to quote @NASPTweets "an annual celebration of the people, organisations & communities who make social prescribing happen.” Social Prescribing helps individuals to access the right support that will benefit their life & meet their needs.
Today we are at the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Social Prescribing Showcase in Winchester, hosted by @cfirstorg 😃Thanks to @ReadEasyWinch for sharing a stall with us. Looking forward to meeting other organisations & making connections! 👋😊#socialprescribing #communitypower
