What we do
We run big national reading programmes, like the Summer Reading Challenge for children and The Vital Link for adults trying to improve their literacy skills. We try new things out, like reading groups with a radio strand, or a new website to attract teenage readers. We're used as a resource by people working directly with readers. We can provide training and advice as well as toolkits, websites and promotional materials.
About us
We’re an independent charity which inspires more people to read more. Why? Because we believe that reading can transform people’s lives. The more you read, the more you know. The more you read, the more you imagine. The more you read, the better you understand other people, and the better you connect to them.
