Welcome to the 'Talking' Books Peer Support Group where we invite you to come and share your experience and knowledge around all things audiobooks at our bi-monthly meetings, a dedicated space for those living with inherited sight loss to connect through the power of the spoken word.

We are pleased to invite you to join group facilitators Cindy Peacock and Jane Copsey for our latest 'Talking' Books Peer Support Group online meet up.

Come and step into a world where stories truly come alive. This is a dedicated space for those living with inherited sight loss to connect through the power of the spoken word. Whether you’re a lifelong listener or navigating a new diagnosis, join us to share favourite authors & narrators and build a community that understands your unique journey.

Whether you are addicted to autobiographies, hooked on horrors, or delve into a drama, this peer support group is for you so please come along and ask questions, share knowledge and learn from like-minded others who are living with inherited sight loss across the UK.

At this meeting we will be reviewing our latest book choice, A Far-flung Life by M L Stedman (this should be available to download from all major audiobook platforms). Please be aware that we will be discussing this book in detail which may include any plot spoilers if you haven’t finished reading it. We will then also open up the discussion to suggestions for our next read so please come along with your recommendations as well as any thoughts on future special guests you would like to hear from such as authors or poets etc, we would love to hear your ideas!

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there!
