Donate to The National Literacy Trust

Donate today and help us to empower even more children with the vital literacy skills they need to succeed in life.

Literacy changes everything. It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It opens the door to the life you want.

But low literacy is inextricably linked to poverty. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are starting school with literacy skills that are already 19 months behind their more privileged peers and struggling to ever catch up. This lays the foundation for a lifelong pattern of literacy inequality impacting on earnings, health and wellbeing.

But this is not inevitable. With your donation, we can transform life chances in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities by:

• Setting up tailored literacy hubs in the poorest communities.
• Supporting schools with resources and programmes designed to boost children’s literacy.
• Campaigning to make literacy a priority for politicians and parents.

Help us stop the cycle of poverty and low literacy.
