Reading to Stroke Patients

The 'InterAct' Reading Service uniquely provides a reading service for stroke patients in hospitals and stroke clubs.

"It's helping me recover. It's stimulation. It cheers me up. All those things contribute to my recovery."
Ashley, St Thomas'

"You've woken my mind up..."
Robin, The National Hospital

Patients said that being read to by an actor and having the chance to chat with the actor was a welcome relief from the monotony and isolation of being in hospital for a long time.

'InterAct' is reading in 14 stroke units in London hospitals and in 3 regional hospitals
