Suffolk
Our work in Suffolk inspires families across the county to read together and helps parents to support their children’s literacy skills and foster an enjoyment of reading and writing.
We also work with schools to aid literacy teaching and partner with local organisations who support our mission to raise literacy levels across the county. If you would like to get involved, please email suffolk@literacytrust.org.uk.
Since 2021, we’ve been working with communities in Suffolk thanks to the support of key partners including Suffolk County Council and Libraries and East Suffolk Council. From 2025, we focussed our work in communities in Lowestoft and this 2026, our work expanded to Leiston, supported by the Sizewell C Community Fund.

How to get involved?
Are you a nursery, pre-school setting or school in Suffolk?
We work in nurseries, pre-schools and schools across the country to help improve literacy levels and develop a love of reading and writing.
See a range of fun free resources to engage your early years, primary and secondary school pupils here and ideas to mark special days throughout the academic year here.
Are you a parent or carer?
Learning at home is a vital park of a child's development, but it can be hard to know where to start. We've got a range of free engaging activities and useful resources to support your children's literacy and enjoyment of reading here.
Are you a local organisation in Lowestoft or Leiston, keen to support your community?
Our work in Suffolk wouldn't be possible without our amazing partners - including theatres, libraries and football clubs. If you work for an organisation or local business in the Lowestoft or Leiston areas, we would love to hear from you!
We're also available to take part in wider strategic conversations around early years activity in Suffolk.
For all enquiries, please get in touch via suffolk@literacytrust.org.uk
