📚 This new report caught our eye today, finding that reading for pleasure at any age can improve your health & wellbeing. No matter what you read, reading boosts mental health whilst reducing the risk of mental decline.

We believe that reading away from a screen every day is so important, we made it one of our Feel Good 5! Are you getting your daily Read in?

(And for anyone wondering, your Pelican admin gets stuck into a book for 20-30 mins every lunch break!)

University of Cambridge academics say reading at any age improves brain and mental health.
