Impact Report 09/10

Our Impact Report explains the many ways in which we work to support and improve literacy in the UK, as well as highlighting some of our successes in the last financial year. In 2009/10:

We launched our Reading for Life campaign, which aims to engage and inspire new groups to read and has already put books in the hands of over 150,000 people.

We worked with 9,000 early years settings and schools to motivate and inspire disengaged pupils.

We ran inspirational reading events for nearly 12,000 children and young people from disadvantaged areas, giving away 35,000 new books.

We took our message to national policymakers, hosting events at the party conferences and running a series of policy breakfasts.

We raised public awareness of the importance of literacy by generating nearly 800 pieces of media coverage worth over £1.5million of advertising.
