Join our Take 10 challenge at 10am on Friday 8 October 2021!
We’re encouraging businesses and organisations to join thousands of people across the UK as we drop everything and read together for 10 minutes at 10am on Friday 8 October.
Reading for just 10 minutes a day can help your team feel calm and relaxed, reduce stress levels, and improve their memory and concentration.
It's easy to take part!
- Fill in the form below to let us know you're taking part
- Send an email or calendar invite to your colleagues/employees to get them involved in your workplace or on a video call - download our poster-flyer and social media cards to help get the word out
- Grab your favourite books and get reading for 10 minutes at 10am on Friday 8 October!
- Take a picture of your team’s Take 10 moment and share on social media using #Take10ToRead and tagging the National Literacy Trust

Head to our Take 10 page to find tips and ideas on encouraging reading to support wellbeing in your workplace.
