How you can help
Everyone can play a role, whether it is taking a child to a
library for the first time, being a volunteer reader in a school,
or accompanying a nervous friend to a
Skills Plus Centre where they can gain a basic literacy
qualification.
Just talking about the pleasure of reading can inspire
others. 2 out of 5 adults are encouraged to read a book after
receiving tips from friends (Office of National Statistics) and 43%
of young people will read something as a result of a peer
recommendation (Nestle Family Monitor).
There are plenty of ways to get involved.
