Read Easy is holding a Zoom meeting with information about their classes and how to access them on Thursday July 14, 2022 at 6.15pm.

Opening Wiganers' ears to what it is like to have a learning disability

It is a volunteer organisation which provides free, confidential and one-to-one reading coaching for adults.

Over eight per cent of the adult population in the borough struggle to read in a way that impacts their daily life, that includes: shopping, reading mail, using public transport, securing employment or just reading to their children or grandchildren.

Residents can join the online meeting to find out more and hear some inspirational stories of the impact learning to read can have on a person’s life no matter what age they are.
