Open Book’s Further Afield Project Takes Off!

We are delighted to report that our Further Afield project, new pilot groups in Stranraer, Ullapool, Kirkwall, Aberdeen, Eyemouth, Lochgelly and (two groups in) Dundee have been granted funding by Creative Scotland and will begin later this month. We’ve had a busy month training new Lead Readers in the Open Book shared reading+creative writing model, and bringing them into the overall Open Book family. Watch this space for updates on those new groups and how they unfold!
