About The National Literacy Trust

The National Literacy Trust are unwavering in their commitment to enhancing the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of children and young people, equipping them for success in school, work and life.

Their multifaceted work encompasses short-term impact and campaigning for long-term, systemic change in pursuit of equal access to the transformative power of literacy. By addressing the root causes of low literacy and fostering a society that values and nurtures literacy skills, children’s potential can be unlocked, enabling them to realise their aspirations.

Low literacy persists across generations, so particular emphasis is placed on families, young people and children. Through the establishment of Literacy Hubs and targeted campaigns, The National Literacy Trust engages communities in which low levels of literacy and limited social mobility exert a profoundly detrimental influence on people’s lives.

Improved literacy is a critical component in combating poverty; by intervening at an early stage, the cycle of low literacy can be broken, and children and young people empowered to transform their lives.
