Collaborating With Award Winning Author Brian Fredrick
Welcome to Literacy for Life
We’re a local not-for-profit community group that’s striving to make a difference to the lives of local children. Through monetary donations from local businesses and individuals, we’re raising funds to share the gift of reading with children this Christmas. By working alongside local charities, our goal is to distribute new books to those who need them the most in our local area of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Moorlands, opening up the magical power of reading and unlocking literacy for all. Because, it’s more than just a book.
1 in 5 children and young people aged 5-18 do not have a book of their own at home and we want to change that. Your donations mean that we are able to purchase new books for children in your area, opening up a world of curiosity, imagination and wonder in a gift of literacy.
Our Values
We want to ensure as many disadvantaged children across Stoke-on-Trent and the Staffordshire Moorlands receive the gift of a book this Christmas.
Creating a special moment for Christmas while providing local businesses to be involved in the community
Providing an outlet for imagination and creative thinking, and encouraging outreach and breaking down boundaries.
Encouraging reading in the home environment and helping to boost literacy levels
