Charities

Listening Books is a national UK charity providing an audiobook library service catering for anyone who finds that an illness, disability, learning difficulty or mental health condition impacts on their ability to read or hold printed books in the usual way. Audiobooks can be a wonderful source of entertainment, comfort and relaxation for those who are missing out on the enjoyment of reading. We have nearly 8,000 fiction and non-fiction audiobooks in our library, for adults and children, from bestselling authors such as: J. K. Rowling, George R. R. Martin, John Le Carré, Lee Child, Agatha Christie, Philippa Gregory, Stephen Fry, and many more. Members can borrow titles in three easily accessible ways: • sent directly through the post on MP3 CD with no postage costs or late fees. • downloaded to a portable device like a phone or tablet • or streamed online via a laptop or computer. Membership starts from £20 per year and for anyone who would struggle to pay the membership fee, we do have a limited number of free memberships available. For more information, please visit: www.listening-books.org.uk, or get in touch by calling: 020 7407 9417 or emailing info@listening-books.org.uk.

Listening Ears is committed to reducing isolation and loneliness through integration activities and outreach services. By facilitating interaction, we enable people to build connections and actively participate within their communities. With a renewed sense of purpose, our beneficiaries are empowered to lead healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives.

We identify and reach out to children in London who are disabled or disadvantaged. We support children and the organisations that offer them activities and outreach support. Little Lives UK raises funds to ensure that the children we support have the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence to participate within their community.
