A monthly reading group for ex clients of Cruse and others. It will meet where the group wishes as long as tea or coffee is available!
Why they need our serviceLoneliness and lack of social confidence is often present in bereaved clients and others. Bereavement can lead to an inability to concentrate. Reading,including for those who have never really read before, can be a very positive activity whilst alone but by coming together to talk about it also gives a social opportunity. If members become happy to give their opinions in the group it can lead to increased confidence elsewhere too.
Plan and expected resultsIncreased confidence for members and perhaps the discovery of a new activity where members will also have the benefit of meeting others socially in a supportive group.
