Do you enjoy reading? If so, consider giving 1-2 hours a week reading aloud to a Hosparus patient by beoming a Hosparus Volunteer! One hour weekly is all we ask!
Patients who can no longer see small print or use their hands to turn pages, can still enjoy books by having someone to read aloud to them. This helps with relaxation and stimulates the mind.
