“I hope this project exists in years to come when I know I would gladly welcome a call and a story to make me smile!”
“Not only does this project have a positive impact on our Silver Listeners but also there has been notable progress on the children’s confidence when reading aloud. Over time they have developed increasing fluency and the ability to capture the interest of the Listener by using expression in their voice.”
“The children leave the room with a beaming smile, full of pride, as they head back to their classroom.”
“…enable the children to realise that they are making a difference to the lives of the elderly members of our community.”
“That story has made me smile, thank you for sharing it with me. I always look forward to my phone call on a Tuesday”
“It is a delight to hear the positive comments from our Silver Listeners after they have been read to. Comments such as ‘ Thank you. You have really made my day.’”
“The children are always so eager to share a story or poem with the elderly members of our community.”
“Silver Stories is most definitely one of the highlights of my week.”
