Save the date - Breathing Space Day 2010

This year, Breathing Space’s campaign celebrates the power of reading and writing to lift your mood and provide a break from your worries.

The fourth annual Breathing Space Day will be taking place on February 1st  in libraries across Scotland and to celebrate, Breathing Space will be giving away copies of a new book focused on recovery and wellbeing in the Herald newspaper.

Five of Scotland's top writers, James Kelman, William Boyd, Jackie Kay, Denise Mina and Janice Galloway, have contributed stories to mark the day. You can also get a free copy in selected libraries and book stores or by contacting Breathing Space.

Getting involved
Breathing Space would encourage everyone to celebrate the day by taking some time out on February 1 to pick up a favourite book, magazine or poem. You could also arrange a special reading, writing or book group in your area. Help Breathing Space spread the word about their work by having a stall in your workplace or a local community centre to give away the Breathing Space bookmarks or other goodies.

Be sure to let Breathing Space know about your activities!
