Act as One Festival 2022 - Bradford Literacy Festival

For centuries artists, authors, and literary enthusiasts have boasted the potential of books. They claim literature improves the mind, imparts wisdom, and can soothe the soul and act as a vital part of our everyday health and wellbeing. For those with depression and other forms of mental ill health, we’ve known for many years that reading can form an important part of a therapy and wellness regime and yet we often fail to make the link between health, wellbeing and literature.

Syima Aslam is the CEO of the Bradford Literature Festival, one of the largest of it’s kind in the UK and is inspired by the belief that education and the power of words can change lives for the better. Come along to hear her speak about this, and about how you can get involved in this years Bradford Literature Festival too.
