The Reading Challenge taken on by schools helps us to provide more portable libraries for children’s wards in our area, which make a huge difference to children and their families.

Reading to children in hospital is proven to:

• Aid recovery of the children when they hear a familiar voice
• Strengthen family bonds as they read together
• Encourage all member of the family to be involved during hospital visits
• Create a sense of normality in a strange situation/surroundings
