"If every child could have a bedtime story, I think we'd start to see some real changes in terms of health outcomes."

Alice Wiseman, director of Public Health for Newcastle and Gateshead, tells #R4Today children should be encouraged to enjoy reading to 'improve wellbeing'.

So good to see the brilliant Alison Cassidy at @Liverpoollib shortlisted for the health and #wellbeing award - recognising her work on new initiatives and partnerships. It’s been great to work with her on new Shared Reading groups, including for people w/ #dementia @thereaderorg

[Libraries Connected @libsconnected]

@PaulStreets_ @ThirdSector @LBFEW Thanks for all you’ve done for the sector Paul - was inspired by your championing of #SmallButVital charities so long ago and it’s been amazing to see the work of @LBFEW over the years!

The private company Restore Trust is now circulating a fundraising email asking for 'donations' & claiming that only 15,887 National Trust members voted against their Quick Vote resolution this year. This is not true. *69,715 members voted against it and it was defeated.* Pls RT

@thereaderorg Bookshelf theme “Weathering the Storm” resonates more than ever - and these lines felt helpful when hope & trust feels lost “We reap what we sow, but Nature has love over and above that justice” https://t.co/0L4e1uZqRB

#LibrariesWeek gave us the perfect chance to reflect on how our work in libraries supports our mission to bring about a #ReadingRevolution.

Hear more from Geetha Rabindrakumar, our Director of Partnerships, Communities and Impact, here: https://t.co/F3W4PcVrd3

“It brought the natural world with universal truths into our lives” - wonderful impact from work of #volunteers like Cynthia & library staff with @ace_national support for #SharedReading in @MertonLibraries @SuttonLibraries @CroydonLibs @kinglibheritage #GreenLibrariesWeek

[The Reader @thereaderorg]

Volunteer Cynthia leads a #SharedReading group in Kingston Library, and this #LibrariesWeekUK, we've been reflecting on our chat with her about her Reader Leader journey and the benefits of the group.

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

Loved this wonderful display @kinglibheritage for #NationalPoetryDay incl from @lemnsissay new collection. The theme is #refuge which connects so strongly to the power of #SharedReading for those are seeking safe harbour from life’s storms https://t.co/ysdtAohKk6

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

Thanks @LizIthird @kinglibheritage for a great evening at New Malden Library with readers & @thereaderorg volunteers, hearing about the power of reading #poetry aloud. Lovely to see your new anthology out and to see people new to #SharedReading enjoying it too! #LibrariesWeek

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

@peterkyle I’m so very sorry to read of your pain and loss - we met you & Vlas at Lou’s wedding in 2012 and it was so clear what a fun & happy partnership you had. Have been cheering you on in your political career since then and hoping that you’re ok as you share this with the world

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

So powerful to hear from Gary, Foysal and Dennis @Literacy_100 event how lack of #literacy contributed to their #homelessness and the right support helped them out of it. Fab to have a preview of #L100Charter including the recommendation for #SharedReading to be made available

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

Great to be part of @Literacy_100 work bringing together organisations in homelessness, adult education, reading and literacy to identify what's needed to improve literacy for adults as part of their pathway out of #homelessness - look forward to the Charter launch on Thursday!

[Geetha Rabindrakumar @GeethaRab]

@Kathy_CEO_CE So very sorry to see this. And so glad of your voice and advocacy for and alongside children in the past 10 years. Hope you and the team are ok - and our paths cross again sometime.
