We are a UK charity that inspires social and personal change through the proven power of reading. In 2024/25, we reached over 2 million people.
We created a #ReadingWell for dementia booklist to support people living with dementia, their loved ones and carers.

The expert-endorsed list features titles recommended by people affected by dementia, health professionals and library staff.
