Hastings

In Hastings we work in partnership with local schools, businesses and cultural organisations to prioritise literacy and give children and young people the literacy skills they need to succeed in life.
Higher literacy levels can improve a child's success at school, their job opportunities in adult life, their mental and physical health, and even their life expectancy.
We run events in the town, support schools with the teaching of literacy, and engaging children in reading for pleasure, and encourage the local community to get involved. Through our work, we bring the magic of stories and storytelling to everyone.

The LitUp project
We developed the LitUp project in conjunction with Bloomsbury Publishing and local school literacy leads to boost reading for pleasure and raise literacy levels in Hastings. It is already paying dividends.
