Donate today and give the gift of literacy.

Exciting News! Our Life-Changing Literacy Big Give Campaign is now live. The match funding campaign lasts for one month and for every pound you donate through the Big Give platform between 5 March and 5 April 2025, the donation will be matched until we reach our campaign target of £50,000.

Every donation made to our charity means we can continue to deliver our specialist literacy programmes. Our expert tutors support children from disadvantaged backgrounds who can be up to two years behind: for every month of tuition, a child can catch by nearly five months, becoming a confident reader and able to engage with their education.

Make a one off or monthly donation and give the gift of life-changing literacy this year.

Why we need your support

"This literacy intervention is invaluable to children in primary schools. We have seen the impact of this with our pupils performing well in their SATs. If I could have this intervention for every pupil in my school, I would."

Sarah Wawn, Headteacher, Harlesden Primary School, Brent

"With the support of The Children's Literacy Charity, we are slowly beginning to eradicate the problem of poor literacy amongst our pupils and helping all children embrace our school motto: 'Be the best that you can be'."

Reema Reid, Headteacher, Hollydale Primary School

“I liked learning new words in Reading Lab, like when we learned what anxious meant and when we went back to class someone said ‘anxious’ and that was the first time I understood it so I felt happy. I think I’ve got better at understanding words.“
