Learning transforms lives. And there are plenty of ways that you can help.
Through learning to read and improving numeracy skills, people are presented with a bright future and new opportunities. It increases confidence and self-esteem.
This impact isn’t just felt by the person learning, but by everyone around them; family and friends, prison or service staff, and the wider community.
We want to ensure that nobody is left out of learning, but we can’t do it without you.
Transform someone’s life. Give them the chance to learn to read and improve their numeracy skills.
Learning to read and do numeracy has a huge impact. People who struggle with low literacy and low numeracy are more likely to have children with the same struggles. By supporting people to learn, we can improve the future of the next generation.
Immediate benefits for learners:
Makes day to day life easier and safer for the learner and those around them
Improves family relationships including with children – learners have reported they feel like better parents being able to read and write to their children
Helps to break the cycle of low literacy and numeracy, which runs in families
Offers people better opportunities – including education and employment – providing a brighter outlook for the future
With your support, we can help people learn to read, access education and training opportunities, build relationships with their families, and have more hope for the future.
