The National Literacy Trust is the only organisation concerned with raising literacy standards for all age groups throughout the UK. It is an independent charity that changes lives through literacy. We have a vision of a society in which everyone has the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that they need to fulfil their own and, ultimately, the nation’s potential.
