Engaging readers and inspiring writers



88 businesses have signed the Vision for Literacy Business Pledge 2022, committing to take action to improve literacy levels in the UK and help secure the economic future of the next generation


We recognise the importance of inspiring a love of reading and writing for pleasure. Our innovative and engaging approaches are equipping learners with the language, reading and writing skills they need to do so.
We believe that businesses have a key role to play in improving UK literacy levels. The Vision for Literacy Business Pledge 2022 is an example of the difference we can make by working together with businesses, charities, schools and government to prioritise literacy skills. We have joined with 87 other leading businesses to sign up to the pledge and are committed to working in our local community to tackle this problem and help safeguard the economic future of the next generation
