Reading Groups Joining a reading group is a great way to meet new people, try new authors and books and share your feedback. There are a number of groups that you can join that are run by the Library and Archive Service both in and outside of libraries. There is sometimes a waiting list to join the groups but we will let you know when a space becomes available if you tell us which group/s you are interested in joining. We can also support you in setting up your own reading group. The Library and Archive Service supports independent reading groups that meet in community locations or in peoples' homes by providing free book sets of up to 15 copies on a regular basis. Take a look at our selection of reading group sets here: https://librariesandarchives.portsmouth.gov.uk/public-library-service/wh...

Royal Voluntary Society - Social Activities Our goal is to inspire and enable people to give the gift of voluntary service to meet the needs of the day in their communities. We believe that our volunteers’ service makes them, and Britain, healthier and happier. We also work closely with the NHS, providing valuable support services that allow hardworking hospital staff time to focus on looking after the people in their care. Working one-to-one, in groups and online, our network of trained volunteers provide the time and skills that help people feel stronger, healthier and more able to cope with any challenges they may be facing. Through social activities and groups, they create connections and friendships that help communities thrive and boost the wellbeing of the people involved. Our services vary from area to area and in some cases are available via your local authority or health services. Cardiff United Kingdom CF23 8RP More info
