"A brilliant tiny charity... You'll never have to flip through an out of date Readers Digest again". The Telegraph
"What a really lovely idea! Thank you very much for lighting up our doctor's surgery waiting room. The day's weather was awful! The atmosphere in the waiting room none too healthy. But your poems are all wonderful - and meaningful. Well done and thanks......" Patient Ealing
"Thank you and your colleagues for the encouragement that Poems in the Waiting Room brings to our practice. Not only do the poems entertain our patients whilst they wait, but it is difficult to put into words how encouraging the gift of them is to the Practice ...". Doctor - Belper
"I think it is a wonderful project and would love to be associated with it if possible.... I teach both fiction and poetry and have also participated in various poetry readings...". Poet - London
