We are very fortunate to enjoy the support of Sir Stephen Fry as our patron.
I’m proud and delighted to be patron of the first audiobook charity to offer downloads to its members and excited about what this will mean for all print impaired people who can now listen on-the-go.
Sir Stephen has been patron of Listening Books since 2005. As a creator and huge lover of literature, and reader of the best selling ‘Harry Potter’ audiobook series, he understands the importance of promoting the spoken word for all. In addition to sharing his passion for audiobooks, he has supported the charity by presenting The Listening Books Award for the Spoken Word at The Guardian Hay Festival, recording an audio advert, and announcing our Members' Choice Award Winners' annually since 2021.
In 2025, Stephen was awarded a Knighthood for his services to mental health awareness, the environment and charity.
