Reading With Us

Our Reading Revolution is growing fast across the UK. Check if there’s a Get Into Reading group near you by looking at our list below.

We currently run open groups in the North West, London and South West. You can find these lists by clicking on the map below. To make an enquiry about a group near you, please contact us.

You can also read with us and support us by taking a look at our Amazon Bookshop, where a percentage of all purchases go to supporting The Reader Organisation’s work. Got any spare and unread books that can go to a good home? Click here for information on how to donate them to The Reader Organisation.
