The 2.6 Challenge
Campaign by Calibre Audio (RCN 286614)
Could you take part in the 2.6 Challenge and help raise money to help us to continue to run our free audiobook service at this challenging time? Our audiobooks are a lifeline to many of our members, particularly as so many are self-isolating.

Story

Having been with Calibre audio for 7 months I have come to realise and appreciate through all the great stories our members tell us how important it is to be able to experience the joy and pleasure from reading a good book. 

What is even more special is we provide free audio books to anyone with a print reading disability this could be visual, educational or physical. who would normally miss out on the joy of reading.

Our members tell us how reading a book helps them feel less isolated and it allows them in a small way to escape from the current challenges. 

We have been looking after our members for nearly 50 years and with your support we will continue for another 50 years

I know everyone is under a lot of pressure at the present time, anything you can do to support us would be massively appreciated by  our members who rely on your generosity to provide  the books they love

Why is this a challenge? I cycle 7 miles around 3 times a week on average. so doing 26 miles in one go around bucks will be a big challenge for me
