The National Literacy Trust team explain more
Literacy skills are an essential part of everyday life, and without them it can be hard to make our way in the world. We work directly with children and families in their communities, with schools and nurseries, hospitals and foodbanks, young offenders’ institutions and prisons, to lead literacy programmes that raise literacy skills and change lives. To have the most impact, we focus our work in 20 places around the UK facing the biggest literacy and poverty challenges.
