RTG changes lives
Reading The Game reaches over 10,000 children and
adults every year and has a lasting impact on those
who take part. Starting from a passion for football,
we are able to share the power of reading, demonstrating
how it can enrich any interest, and compliment every
aspect of life.
Ellie Duckworth, an eight year old Bolton fan, met player
Kevin Davies on a trip to the Reebok Stadium as part
of her RTG project. She was so inspired she broke all
project records and read 124 books over the course of
the season. Her dad David was amazed after the project, telling us, "The
first thing she'd ask when she got up or got home from
school would be 'Are we going to the library today?'"
RTG reaches adults alongside their children, for example
Cliff Taylor, age 42, hadn't read a book for 26 years
until he took part in a RTG project with his son. Reading
Lance Armstrong's autobiography, however, he was inspired,
and now reads every day on the train to work.
You can help
With your help we can reach and inspire even more children
and adults across the UK. Just £5 a month will
enable three children to benefit from a RTG project
for a year.
