We are so grateful for the amazing support of our current corporate partners. Together we are changing children’s lives, now and for the future. Your support is vital in helping us close the literacy gap for disadvantaged children so not only do they catch up, they can then race ahead.
Help to transform the life of a child
We have a simple goal: to help more disadvantaged children to close their literacy gap. Now, more than ever, our specialist tuition is needed but without the support of organisations like you, we can only do so much.
Working together to help close the literacy gap
We rely on one-off donations, multi-year grants and Charity of the Year partnerships to help sustain our vital work.
If you choose us as your charity partner, we will work with you to create a partnership that meets your CSR strategy, engages your employees and inspires your wider stakeholders. You will successfully raise money to transform children’s lives and help us to deliver our life-changing literacy work. We can support your employees with a range of fundraising ideas and work with you to create a calendar of events and activities that are suited to your business:
• Our Back to School themed fundraising ideas are great fun for the workplace.
• We have places in over 500 running and challenge events across the country; from marathons to inflatable obstacle courses.
• Join us in March to celebrate World Book Day!
Volunteering Opportunities – Step into a Story
Step into a Story is a unique volunteering opportunity where volunteers help make story sacks for our Literacy and Reading Labs.
A story sack is a collection of items in a bag that can be used to support and extend the telling of a story. Story sacks make books more accessible to everyone and help children develop their language and vocabulary by making reading more engaging and meaningful.
Step into a Story at a school
Step into a Story at a school is a different and fun volunteering opportunity where volunteers join children at one of our partner schools for a storytelling session; reading stories with the children and taking part in a crafting activity.
And pro bono support is always gratefully received where skills and resources we would not normally have access to are provided.
Our experienced fundraising team is available to have an initial chat about our work and explore ways in which we could partner together.
