Our aim is to bring about a Reading Revolution. Why? Because reading matters to everyone.

We run more than 120 weekly read aloud groups across Merseyside, reaching over 600 people, in libraries, schools, GP surgeries, hospitals, Day Centres and workplaces as part of our Get Into Reading project

We were finalists in the NHS Health and Social Care Awards in January 2007

We run Liverpool Reads, a city-wide book bonanza which gave away and encouraged the reading of 13,000 books this year

We develop new culture-based social inclusion projects such as Community Shakespeare, Wirral which brought 1500 people into Birkenhead Park this summer

We publish The Reader magazine praised by Seamus Heaney as "one of the best things to thump through the letter box"

We're turning non-readers into readers, one page at a time. What's more, we're connecting people, with each other, through books

The Reader Organisation is a charity dedicated to bringing about a Reading Revolution - this means great books reaching everybody - it's our mission to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in sharing a wealth of literature. For us, reading is a force for social good that can build community and enhance lives.
