Partners and Funders
The work that we do could not continue without the support of our partners and funders. We work alongside a huge variety of organisations across the UK, all of whom share our goal of making reading accessible and available to all.
Our partner organisations stretch throughout the country. They all share the vision we have of aligning reading with wellbeing, and utilising literature to build important relationships between communities as well as between individuals.
