Reading is Caring, is once again being delivered in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Reading is Caring is run by Scottish Book Trust and offer free workshops to train people who care for someone living with dementia (including partners, friends, family members and professional carers) to create personalised, shared and sensory reading experiences that can help maintain their caring relationships, spark memories and relieve stress.
The workshops take place over two-half day sessions. Carers who attend are supported to create personalised shared reading activities for the person they care for.
