I set up Inclusive Reads because books bring me joy. As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, I know that reading can sometimes be hard – but I also know the incredible power that books hold. They have taught me new skills, broadened my understanding, and offered a sense of connection when I’ve needed it most.
As an Occupational Therapist working privately in North Hertfordshire, I spend a lot of time supporting people to find meaningful occupations – the things we do that give life purpose. For me, reading is one of those valued occupations. It doesn’t have to mean tackling long novels – it can be enjoying a short story, listening to an audiobook, or sharing a picture book with my daughter – we have many favourites!
Inclusive Reads is my way of giving back to the local community and creating a space where stories are shared freely.
