Description

The Reading Club is a 2-hour per week course that runs for the academic year. The Reading Club follows Derbyshire County Council term dates and is delivered by Derbyshire Adult Community Education Service (DACES).
As part of the National Year of Reading 2026 government drive, the Reading Club has been developed to support adult learners develop their reading skills. Those that join The Reading Club will have the opportunity to use the knowledge that they gain to help them to secure employment and/or get involved in their local community projects.
The books covered will boost your confidence to read, help to build your resilience to get more involved in employment opportunities and/or local community projects.
All books covered are for adults and have been carefully chosen so that you can, in time, participate in discussions about what have read.
Please come and join us in this safe space with other like-minded people.
