Books on prescription

The books on prescription scheme help with a range of commonly experienced mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and stress. They have been chosen by specialist health professionals, counsellors and academics.

Reading groups

Do you like to read and chat with other book lovers?  We have twelve reading groups which meet monthly. New members are always welcome.

Groups are free of charge and open to all - just drop in refreshments are provided each group chooses which books to read. (This is usually done a couple of months in advance). Books are free to borrow.
