Artist profile
We run Shared Reading groups across Derbyshire. These groups are warm and friendly environments open to everyone and led by trained volunteers. Shared reading gives people the opportunity to come together to read, to listen, and to connect over stories, poems, letters, quotes, articles, and songs. Whether you’d like to read aloud, join in with the conversation or just sit back and listen, you’re always welcome.
