What Our Clients Say

I’ve always thought literary people were above me. But when we read and talk about them, you discover that they are really quite like us.


Eileen

My carer suggested I join the reading and writing group. I didn’t hold out much hope… two years on and I am still there. Being part of the group has taught me how to write essays and poems. Its great fun hearing group members read out their written pieces. Outside Ecas, we meet socially and go out for coffees or to the cinema. I am glad to have become a member… I love it.


William

This group is a fantastic way to come together and talk about things: books, our lives, what’s important to us.
