As you are probably aware, this is a very busy and exciting time for The Reader Organisation. We are undergoing big structural changes as we grow into a national organisation. These changes extend to the structure of Read to Lead Training and the way in which we pass on the Get Into Reading model to others. Please see our Accreditation page for more information.
