Kingsland House Care Home in Shoreham By Sea have teamed up with a local school, Shoreham Academy, for a new monthly reading club, connecting residents with the pupils sharing reading time together.

Residents of Kingsland House (run by Barchester Healthcare), have been spending time with the students who have been reading with them from good old fashioned books!

The reading club began with an idea to build links between the care home and the local school, The project enables residents and students to interact together, not just to read but to chat together over tea and biscuits.

Donna Guyver, Activities Coordinator said "Residents have really enjoyed sharing their stories with the pupils, so many incredible tales and they love hearing the adventures of the students.
