Story

“A big thank you to Calibre for the wonderful service. My feedback is firstly gratitude for helping me to retain sanity by giving me access to audiobooks.”

82-year-old Calibre member Judith Sarssam

We’re proud to support people who rely on audio to experience the joy of reading, and the huge difference it can make to someone’s wellbeing.

By taking part in the 5.0 Challenge, you can raise vital funds in your own unique way! Set yourself a task that incorporates the number 5 or 50 to celebrate our anniversary – and find a way to make it challenging for you. It could be baking 50 cakes and selling them at local coffee mornings, it could be running 50km, or it could be reading 5 books in a week.

Whatever you choose to do, shout about it to friends, family, colleagues and your community and help spread the word. With your help, we can reach more people who face sight loss, dyslexia, ADHD, and many other conditions that block their ability to read printed books.

And as a thank you to all participants, we are have some FREE Calibre Audio fundraising t-shirts you can order here: https://sfgxozqb.paperform.co
