Hospital library service
Our library service provides large print
books to patients in our local hospitals and care homes.
The service provides an opportunity for
isolated or lonely people to chat
with trained volunteers with highly developed
listening skills.
Serving Newcastle General Hospital, the Royal Victoria
Infirmary and North Tyneside General Hospital, our 40
volunteers give their time freely to deliver
books to hospital wards and take the time to have a chat to
patients.
Our coordinator also offers book services to local care homes
and undertakes readings, if required.
We are always looking for more library
volunteers, so if you have some spare time, enjoy the company
of people and are interested in becoming a volunteer please contact
Wendy Nott
