Who We Are 

Reading for Life is about improving life opportunities through reading for people in the most need of support.

We do this by promoting the benefits of reading through media partners, and driving consumers to the local services that can support and encourage their reading.

We aim to engage and inspire key target audiences including  black minority ethnic children, pre-school children, white working class boys and adult learners.

Reading for Life is led by the National Literacy Trust and The Reading Agency, with support from a wide range of partners, many who were involved in the NYR 2008.
