Most children learn to read. Some don't. In fact, one in every five boys and one in every ten girls leaves primary school unable to read. Reading Quest is a charity which aims to give every child an equal chance to read, think, write and enjoy learning.

Story

<p>On Tuesday 29th March 2011, Corpus Christi W1 are aiming to row approx. 38 miles through 12 locks (from Oxford to Shillingford and back) to raise money for Reading Quest and TravelAid. This is a long way and will take us around 6-8 hours. We would be really grateful if you would sponsor us to do this.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>OUR CHARITIES</strong></p> <p><strong>Reading Quest</strong>: this is an Oxfordshire-based charity which supports children who are struggling to learn to read. Just &pound;30 pays for a child's individual session. For more details, please see www.readingquest.org.uk</p> <p>We are also raising money for <strong>TravelAid, </strong>but unfortunately can't include both charities on this page! It would therefore be amazing if you could also visit http://www.justgiving.com/corpus-christi-w1-page2. You can either choose one or other of the charities, or give half of your donation to each. Really sorry to make things more complicated.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you very much,</p> <p>Corpus Christi W1 (Felix (cox), Livvy, Emma-Lucy, Alice, Katie, Clare, Hannah, Sophie and Caroline)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
