Literary Lab: Christmas Charity Event · 7 December 2024

Shannon Trust supports thousands of people in prison each year to learn to read and improve their numeracy skills. Currently, over 70% of people in prison struggle with reading and numeracy. Many cannot read at all. Learning reduces re-offending, and creates stronger, safer, communities for all.

Story

This holiday season, I’m organising a Christmas Raffle through my book club to support the incredible work of Shannon Trust, a charity dedicated to transforming lives through education.

Every year, Shannon Trust helps people in prison unlock their potential by teaching essential reading and literacy skills. For many, learning to read opens the door to education, employment, and a brighter future beyond incarceration. With your support, we can help them continue this life-changing work.

By contributing to this fundraiser, you’re not just donating—you’re giving the gift of opportunity, hope, and a second chance.

🎁 How You Can Help:

Make a Donation: Every penny counts and helps support literacy programs for those in need.

Attend the in-person event on 7 December to participate in raffle and wins gifts (£1 donation = 1 raffle ticket). Sign up here on Meetup.

Thank you for helping me make a difference this Christmas. Together, we can support Shannon Trust in creating a world where everyone has the chance to read, learn, and thrive.
