This is an excellent opportunity for you to join Scottish Book Trust as the Head of Reading Communities. 

 

The Scottish Book Trust Reading Communities team run a variety of programmes to promote a love of reading across Scotland. Book Week Scotland is a major annual celebration that features a wide range of events in libraries, schools, and communities, encouraging people of all ages to engage with books and stories. As part of this, the Scotland's Stories project invites people to submit true stories from their lives to be shared on our website with a selection being published in a free book. The Reading is Caring programme focuses on using shared reading to support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers, providing training on how to use reading to help maintain relationships and spark memories. The Your Voice, Your Story initiative helps people share their personal lived experiences through creating short, narrated videos with accompanying images. This programme provides a safe and empowering space for participants to reflect, connect with others, and develop new skills.
