Read and Count with me by the sea

For the Essex Year of Numbers we have something exciting planned.

This Summer we have events planned across Essex to launch the Read and Count with Me by the Sea bags.

Talk, Listen and Cuddle are working in partnership with Essex Libraries, Adult Community Learning (ACL), Active Essex, Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service (ECFWS) and Home Start Harwich.

These events will be based in a variety of different locations in Essex with the Read and Count with me by the Sea theme. The events will have a range of activities available and a chance for you to explore the bags
