Local charities and organisations

National Literacy Trust in Birmingham works with local charities and organisations to provide literacy programmes for young people and adults within a community setting. See below for resources or more information on available programmes from us and our partners.

The National Literacy Trust has a host of literacy opportunities for charities, community organisations and businesses in Birmingham.

These include:

• Opportunities to collect free books (which we receive brand new in sporadic drops from our publisher partners, such as Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Emma Press and Hachette)
• Author events in public spaces and online
• Sustained (5 to 10 week) literacy programmes – working on specific skills such as reading, writing, oracy and parent-child reading.
• Reading and writing competitions and challenges.

The best way to keep up to date with our calendar is to join our monthly opportunities newsletter. Email birmingham@literacytrust.org.uk with a brief introduction to yourself and your organisation to join.
