Read On Nottingham
Read On Nottingham is a community-driven campaign from the National Literacy Trust, Nottingham City Council and Small Steps Big Changes. It is supported by the Big Lottery Fund, using National Lottery funding.
The campaign encompasses a range of programmes and activities to equip children and young people in Nottingham with the literacy skills they need to succeed in life.
Big reader? Big future!
Our Read On Nottingham campaign is working with Nottingham City Council, Small Steps big Changes and UNESCO City of Literature to encourage children to read for pleasure as part of the Big reader? Big future! campaign.
We believe that reading gives children the best possible start in life.
We are ambitious for every child to read today and succeed tomorrow.
