World Book Day 2023

WORLD BOOK DAY @ Gilbert Stephens! Many children across the UK today will be arriving at school dressed as their favourite book character to promote reading for pleasure and offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own.

It’s a great excuse to go and check out your local bookshop with the £1 voucher supplied by schools. Follow the link to see the books available for £1 in local participating retailers: 2023s-1-books (worldbookday.com)

Today @ Gilbert Stephens we are reminded of our very own “Book Swap Bookshelf” located in our CEO, Vicky Thompson’s room.

Our bookshelf is fully stocked and waiting for our staff to start a great read. Vicky operates an open-door policy and we feel very privileged to be able to pop by her office and take advantage of the fully stocked books available, there are some great novels to be read!

Did you know that reading in the workplace can be a great stress buster. A regular reading habit has a huge impact on mental health and wellbeing. Reading for just six minutes a day slows down your heart rate and eases tension and can reduce stress by 68%.
