Beneficiaries

  • Children / Young People

    We focus on children aged 5 to 8 years in regions of deprivation across the UK. The schools on our programme have more children receiving Free School Meals than the national average and/or more children with English as an Additional Language.

Our Vision for a better future

  • We want to create a world where all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive. That’s why we provide one-to-one online reading support at the time they need it most. We develop fundamental reading skills and inspire a love for reading from an early age, helping to build confidence in children who might otherwise slip through the cracks.
