The Reading Well Programme: Reading for Health and Well-Being

Written by Gemma Jolly, Head of Health and Wellbeing, The Reading Agency

Did you know reading is a creative activity that can help people manage and understand their health and well-being? Regular readers benefit from improved sleep, concentration, and a better ability to cope with difficult situations. 

The Reading Agency is a national charity and our mission is to empower people to read because we believe everything changes when you read. Our primary focus is championing the proven power of reading to support people in all areas of life, including understanding and managing their health and well-being. To meet this ambition, we have developed our flagship reading and health programme – Reading Well.
