Creative Spaces Co. has been awarded £10,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund to support our book club for parents!
Creating a space for new mums to read for pleasure and enjoy some grown-up company, Reading Folk takes place over five weeks. Each week, there’ll be a relaxed discussion about the book, with space for the little ones to play. Book, biscuits and good times all included!
Local Mum, Grace said: “I stumbled across Creative Spaces Co. and signed up for Reading Folk. I was a bit worried as I hadn't really read anything in years and I was a bit anxious about meeting new people; having a new baby is a bit of a frazzling time, and it can bring out the worst of your traits, like feeling extra anxious about things. I highly recommend the session, and I've told everyone about it because it would be wonderful if more people could feel that included. It's helped me read again, carving out those moments for myself; it's the highlight of my week."
Nuala added “The group will be a highlight of the week as parents can indulge in some grown-up company. It’s a wonderful, home-from-home space, to meet many parents all excited to delve into a good story together.”
Rachael O’Byrne, Director of Creative Spaces Co. said “We want to say a big thank you to the National Lottery Community Fund for the ongoing support in our work, helping us reach even more families.”
