Doncaster
The National Literacy Trust has been working in Doncaster since 2019 to improve literacy outcomes and inspire a love of reading in children and families.
With a local team on the ground, we work in partnership with schools, community organisations, and local businesses to promote reading for enjoyment across the borough.
By encouraging a love of stories from an early age, we’re helping children build the literacy skills they need to thrive at school and beyond.
From book-gifting and early years programmes to city-wide festivals and creative projects, we deliver fun, inclusive and impactful initiatives that respond directly to Doncaster’s literacy needs.
Discover more about our work below, or follow us on our Facebook page for our latest events and activities.
