You may have noticed that we have changed our Twitter handle from @ReadathonUK to @ReadforGoodUK

"Read for Good’s books offer escapism, a personal belonging in a very impersonal space, imagination and wonder and a positive experience to share" said the arts manager at Norwich and Norfolk Hospital @NNUH

"Thank you, it was a lovely surprise and helped me be distracted on a day that makes me scared and nervous" said a 6 year old patient at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, Gloucester @gloshospitals

"Thank you, it makes children happy whilst being in hospital" said the parent of an 11 year old patient at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge @CUH_NHS @addenbrookes

"Thank you so much. It's hard being in hospital and it's boring too. Having books makes a big difference" said the parent of a 17 year old patient at Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro @RCHTWeCare

"Thank you, I have been in hospital for 5 days and this has given me the mental boost I needed" said a 14 year old patient at Sheffield Children's Hospital @SheffChildrens

"A boy in a surgical ward said the songs were terrific and he enjoyed himself for the first time since coming into hospital" said a patient at Royal Hospital for Sick Children Glasgow @GCH_Charity @NHSGGC

"I came here today with my son, full of worries and fear. I didn't expect us to be laughing and singing. Thank you" said the parent of a patient at Edinburgh Sick Kid's hospital @echcharity

"It's really helping the children like me and others to just forget that we're in hospital and just relax. It's really cheering us up and helping us escape to our own world" said a patient at Royal Alexandra's Children's Hospital, Brighton @TheAlexBrighton @BSUH_NHS
