The housing group is now part of a reading project aimed at promoting family time.
The Wheatley Foundation teamed up with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library several years ago to help children develop their reading skills. This has now been rolled out to customers of DGHP after the organisation joined Wheatley Group last year.
Participating children get sent a specially-chosen book free of charge every month until their fifth birthday.
DGHP head of housing Alison Lamont said: “I would encourage customers to let their housing officer know if they’d like their children to receive the books.
“It’s a really great programme, especially as the books are tailored to age groups. Many customers have already told us they love the variety of books that are sent out.”
