Training and Experience

Telephone reading group 

People at home, especially the housebound, or carer's can be a part of a reading group.

It works on a conference call set-up with up to eight people on the call together talking about a book they have all been given to read.

We deliver the book in the required format (ordinary print, large print or talking book) and facilitate the event with two members of CSV Hackney (Community Service Volunteers).

The reading group meets every 6 weeks. Contact us for more information.
