Literacy changes lives

How every penny helps

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity that changes lives through literacy.

One in five people in the UK struggles to read and write. Poor skills compromise the health, confidence, happiness and employability of individuals and have a negative impact on our national economy.

We are committed to ensuring everyone has the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that they need to fulfil their potential.
