Book Club
Join us for a relaxed and friendly discussion about the books that help us feel good.
Do you have a favourite novel you return to time and again, or a comforting audiobook you always fall asleep to? Do you read to unwind, or to spark your creative flair? Has a book ever inspired you to make a positive change?
Together we’ll explore how reading supports our wellbeing and helps us navigate everyday life. No preparation is needed, but feel free to bring any books along that you want to discuss.
