For many of our members who cannot hold a book, our service is a lifeline, a friend and a comfort, lifting them out of what are often challenging circumstances. For young members with dyslexia, for example, we can help with their fear of the printed word and provide access to books that are appropriate to their intellectual age rather than their reading age. 

Here are just some of the wonderful things our members tell us about our service:

'There is no question whatever that the delight of listening to books ... has made my quality of life immeasurably more enjoyable.'


'Listening Books is a treasure trove.'

‘Listening Books keeps me sane during those times when sleep eludes me and I give thanks every day for this service.'


'All housebound disabled lovers of literature will appreciate, I'm sure, the pleasure, relaxation and escapism brought to us by Listening Books.’


‘The greatest improvement is Tom's love of listening to stories, particularly from the website. He is listening all the time and learning to love books’


‘Listening has helped improve our lives. Thank you.’


'For those new to Listening Books – a door is now opening of many good things to come.'


‘My son has benefited greatly from audiobooks ... he has acquired a great wealth of words and knowledge.'

'Since joining and receiving Listening Books ... something pretty wonderful and special has happened ... I now adore audios.'
