Reading can support wellbeing, offer comfort and perspective, and help people feel more connected.
Yet in the pace and pressures of modern life, books are too often crowded out, just when their benefits matter most.
The Queen’s Reading Room is an independent charity, reliant on voluntary income and donations to sustain and grow our work. Through our free public platform, research into the benefits of reading, and partnerships with community organisations, we help bring reading back into everyday life and into the places where it can make the greatest difference.
Support from individuals, trusts, foundations and companies makes that possible. It helps us reach more people, deepen understanding of why reading matters, and expand book access and shared reading through our partners.
