Meet Janet 

Your Book Club Host

Janet has been volunteering as our Book Club facilitator for over 2 years, and the group absolutely loves her!
 

She turns up every month with a warm smile and delicious treats. She has a gift of making every single person in the room feel heard.

Janet is living proof of what Taskforce is about, empowering older people to be confident and take charge. The Book Club works because Janet makes it work, and the membership only keeps going up!

What Members Say

"From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcome. We all get to choose a book, and I always look forward to hearing what everyone else thinks. Plus we get delicious cookies!
— Member, Book Club

" What I love most is that everyone's opinion matters here. You can love or dislike a book but, there is always great conversation. I have discovered books I never would have picked up on my own!​
