About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

It has the power to change the way you see the world and, indeed, how you see yourself!

Start your day by exploring some great literature! Join The Reader as they host a Shared Reading interactive session, bringing people together and literature to life. This is literature as you’ve never experienced it before – live and aloud. Let the power of words move you as we read a great poem and share our thoughts along the way.

Our trained Reader Leaders will guide the conversation as we leave everything else behind and immerse ourselves in the joy of sharing great literature. Whether you want to take part or prefer to sit back and listen, come along and discover why thousands of people around the world take part in Shared Reading every week.
