The pages that start the conversation.
Current, glossy magazines, chosen for the people who will read them, delivered in person and shared in hosted reading moments.
Six shelves, endless conversations.
Every community gets a mix built around its residents. These are the categories we draw from.
- 01
Entertainment & Celebrity
Music, film and the stars people remember. Entertainment titles are a reliable conversation starter, especially the ones that bring back a favorite song or film.
- 02
News & Current Affairs
Current affairs written to be read slowly. News titles help residents stay part of the conversation happening outside their community.
- 03
Sports
Sports reporting, classic rivalries and the athletes people cheered for.
- 04
Food & Lifestyle
Food, home and the recipes that carry family history.
- 05
Nature & Discovery
Photography-led stories about animals, landscapes and discovery. Large images make these titles easy to enjoy at any reading level.
- 06
Children's Magazines
Children's magazines for intergenerational visits, when grandchildren, students or young volunteers read alongside residents.

No titles in this category yet.
Sample covers designed by Changing Hearts to preview each category. They are not real publications, confirmed inventory or publisher partnerships.
More than a drop-off.
A stack of magazines left at the front desk is easy to overlook. A magazine handed over by someone who stays to talk is not.
Choose together
We ask staff (and residents, where possible) what people enjoy, then build a mix across the six categories.
Deliver in person
Our team or trained volunteers bring the magazines on a scheduled day, in good condition and ready to share.
Host the moment
A short, relaxed reading circle: covers passed around, articles read aloud, opinions welcome.
Leave them behind
Magazines stay for residents to enjoy between visits, and staff receive a short recap.
What we ask of your team.
Very little. A contact person, a regular time slot and a comfortable room. We handle the rest.
- A named coordinator on your activities team
- A recurring 45–60 minute slot that suits your residents
- Guidance on any interests, sensitivities or accessibility needs (large print, low vision)
- Permission to share a dated recap with the program's sponsor
Put your pages in good hands.
We are building relationships with magazine publishers and local sponsors. No publisher partnerships are confirmed yet. If you'd like to be among the first, we'd love to talk.
Magazine publishers
- Place current or recent issues with readers who have time to enjoy them
- Choose the communities and categories your titles reach
- Receive dated delivery recaps (with consent, photos of the moment)
- Covers are only shown on this site once you've approved it
Local sponsors
- Fund a month, a season or a year of magazine moments in a community you choose
- Tasteful recognition on program materials, never advertising aimed at residents
- A recap you can share with your team and customers
Good to know
Which magazines will our residents receive?
A mix chosen with your team from the six categories. Specific titles depend on availability and publisher agreements, and we confirm them with you before the first delivery.
Do you offer large-print or picture-led options?
Yes. We lean on photography-led titles (nature, travel, food) for residents with low vision, and read articles aloud in sessions.
Are children's magazines part of it?
Only for intergenerational visits, when students, grandchildren or young volunteers read alongside residents. Changing Hearts does not sell children's books or magazines.
What does it cost a community?
When a sponsor funds the program, nothing. Communities can also book directly; ask us for current pricing.
