Listen "Silver Stories: Shared Reading: Banishing Loneliness. Episode 7"
Episode Synopsis
We hear how lonely elders are gaining a new lease of life when children read to them on the phone. Elisabeth and David Carney-Haworth (both OBEs) talk about their simple, yet genius idea: helping the elderly and improving kids’ fluency of reading. It is forging beautiful intergenerational relationships. They also speak about ‘Operation Encompass’: their pioneering work helping youngsters caught up in instances of domestic abuse. And there’s a book choice that may surprise!
