About the Charity:

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity dedicated to fiving disadvantaged children the literacy they need to success in life.

They work to improve the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in the UK's most disadvantaged communities, where one in three people have low levels of literacy.

Their research shows that during the initial school closures in 2020, 3 in 5 children and young people said that reading made them feel better. 3 in 10 said that reading helped them when they feel sad because they cannot see their family and friends.

Because low literacy is intergenerational, they focus their work on families, young people and children.
