Making a project contagious
One of my projects is really struggling to get going…
It is called Stories Aloud and is based on the model promoted by The Reader Organisation.
I was training staff and volunteers to read story aloud as a social activity. Then setting up placements for them in wards and day centres where they could read stories and facilitate groups or one to one interaction. The outcomes of increased social connection and some personal reflection related to the story were very beneficial.
