Hello,

As part of my Bat Mitzvah I am raising money for Hackney Pirates, a literacy charity that helps children in London from less privileged backgrounds with their literacy in a fun non-school way. I chose to support this charity because I love to read and write and I think that it is very important for children who are not as lucky as me to get a good education and learn to love reading writing as much as I do. 

Since it is the charity for which I will be raising money I went to visit. It is absolutely incredible. The whole thing is made to look like a pirate ship, everything inside it is pirate themed and everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming. It is nothing like a pressured school environment and children can learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
