Corporate support
Low literacy undermines our economic competitiveness and sustainability, and creates obstacles to a fairer society. Businesses have the resources and reach to make a real impact.
Contact our Corporate Partnerships Manager to find out more about how your business can support our work and transform lives through literacy.
Opportunities for partnership
By working in partnership with us, you can make a real difference to raising literacy levels.
We recognise that companies and their employees want to see where their support goes, and so we make every effort to provide line of sight for all your support – whether it’s fundraising, employee time or other partnership activity. We can also provide bespoke opportunities for you to meet your CSR and business objectives.
