Listening Books is a small UK charity with a history of some sixty years. We provide an online and postal audiobook library service for people in the UK who struggle to read the printed word due to illness, physical or learning disabilities, visual impairment or mental health conditions. We offer thousands of excellent audiobook titles to individual members in their own homes, as well as through schools, hospitals, nursing homes and hospices.
We reach more than 55,000 people and our service helps foster a love of stories in children with dyslexia for example, and it is also often a lifeline for older people to help them continue a lifelong passion for books after the impact of arthritis or macular degeneration. We receive no support from central government.
