Come and join a local shared reading group to help you relax, improve your well-being and make new friends! The group is run by The Reader Organisation, a national charity and social enterprise, who work to connect people to great literature and to each other.

You don?t have to read anything in advance as everything is read aloud to you each week. You can simply enjoy listening to a good story or poem- there?s no pressure to talk, to read, or even to drink tea!

Additionally, The Reader Organisaition are currently working in partnership with Goldmsiths University, and as a member of this reading group you will be involved in some exciting research investigating how reading together may influence peoples? health and sense of well-being.

Everyone is welcome! Interested?

Come along to our taster session on Friday 25th July at 10.15-11.45am at Carnegie Library. We will also be holding another taster session on the 22nd August.

  He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

  I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
