Students and staff from The Spires College Sixth Form are taking on the challenge of running either the Torbay 10K or the Torbay Half Marathon to raise money for Torquay Reads, a fantastic local charity dedicated to giving every child the opportunity to discover the joy of reading.

Research shows that children who own books are more likely to develop strong literacy skills, achieve better educational outcomes, and enjoy improved wellbeing throughout their lives. Yet many children in our local community do not have books of their own.

Torquay Reads is a registered charity based in Torquay whose mission is to ensure that every child in Torquay owns age-appropriate books throughout their childhood, helping to improve opportunities, confidence, and a lifelong love of reading.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help provide books to local children and make a real difference to their futures.

Thank you so much for your support!
