The lockdown library which is attached to our Hockley office wall is a popular addition to our local shopping area with hundreds of books passing through the service every month. This month we had an additional donation of three hundred pounds worth of reading glasses. What a fine community we trade in.

We were delighted to receive a big box of brand new reading glasses to distribute free of charge to visitors to our 'lockdown library' at Hockley. If you have a book gathering dust on the bookshelf that you would like to pass onto someone else please continue to pop them into the Amos Estates office at 1a Spa Road in Hockley.
