Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

The community need that we meet is the need for meaningful social contact. Our society uses technology for speed and efficiency of communication, there are still however many people who exist on the other side of the digital divide. The elderly, prisoners, rough sleepers and many others may not have access to social networks that provide meaningful connections with others. The Reading Revolution provides face to face weekly meetings where the group builds trust to discuss the big issues. We use a literature intervention that allows us to engage with great thinkers and art in a relaxed forum. At the Reading Revolution we provide access to great literature through our shared reading groups. We read short stories and poetry aloud to facilitate this access for those who may experience psychological or physical barriers to reading.
