Cheshire is at the heart of The Reader’s Northwest Shared Reading movement and a flagship area for our work in mental health and recovery. Since 2017, working with health, voluntary and community services, we’ve been embedding a Shared Reading programme in line with the local strategy to improve outcomes for those most at risk of social isolation by improving wellbeing and empowering people to be more active members of their communities. We need your support now to roll out a new, mixed-model for Shared Reading that we’ve co-developed with partners and volunteers in the wake of the epidemic. Your help will enable us to respond to the rising and changing needs of local people and services we work with – ensuring long-term, life-changing support for our existing members, volunteers and partners, and new audiences.
