Who we help
Children
Our inspirational reading events tap into popular culture to engage disadvantaged children in reading, writing and communication activities. Young Readers Programme and Premier League Reading Stars are two of our programmes that work in this way to support classroom teaching and strengthen the link between the school and the home.
Young people
Our work with disengaged young people develops communication skills and confidence. Words for Work brings businesses and schools together to support secondary students and prepare them for both the workplace and adult life.
Families
Our Words for Life campaign encourages parents and carers to talk more and enjoy stories and rhymes with both babies and older children. We also work directly with families through Young Readers Programme for families and Literacy Champions.
Adults
Over the years projects for adults have helped many develop a love of reading, writing and storytelling, as well as acquire essential skills, enabling them to secure a better future for themselves and their families.
