The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileFathers Reading Every Day (FRED) is a really simple programme that encourages dads to read with their children at home. It changes lives. Its effects are most powerful among children from disadvantaged backgrounds - and it's brilliant with boys especially.
We've set ourselves the goal of bringing FRED to 200 schools and children's centres, reaching over 6,000 children, this year. We've already trained schools in London, Greater Manchester, Wolverhampton, Bradford and Rochdale. Your donation will help us reach more.
Too many kids lack a supportive learning environment at home - and getting dads reading is a vital part of changing that. Children whose dads read to them from an early age, do better...and FRED has been shown to have a huge impact on reading, writing and even maths!
