AGE CONCERN - LEND ME YOUR EYES
Contributor / 2012-02-08 13:23:51
Age Concern have launched their project 'Lend me your Eyes'. This is for people with poor eyesight who would like someone to come along and read to them or anyone who just does not like to read themselves.
This could be a favourite book, poetry or just the news from a newspaper. An initiative started by the Spanish reading group 'Ambigu', and supported by the Town Hall and Municipal Library in Torrevieja and initially intended for residents in Care Homes. Age Concern thought it was a very worthwhile project and supported and encouraged by Graham Knight in the AMICS office, decided to start a scheme for British Ex-pats, or any nationality who has the English language, and we would like to extend this to people in their own homes..
If you know of anyone who is in a Care Home or their own home, who would like to have a volunteer to read to them please let us know. If you would like to sign up as a 'reader' it is very simple, register with Age Concern in La Siesta, and with the Municipal Library. All details can be obtained from our office, contact Tel No. 966 78 6887 or by contacting Maureen Payne on 966 77 4270.
