Gift literacy. Unlock imagination. Transform lives

This December, Chapter One is taking part in the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge to raise £15,000 in one week! The campaign will help us raise vital funds to meet the increasing need for one-to-one reading support for children facing disadvantage in communities across the UK.

Donations to our campaign from midday on Tuesday 2 December until midday on Tuesday 9 December will be generously matched by The EQ Foundation, Clyde & Co, Compare the Market, Datagraphic, Euromonitor and Taylor & Francis, until we reach our target of £15,000.

✏️ Suggested LinkedIn post

Here's a sobering fact: only 1 in 3 children aged 8-18 now enjoy reading. That's the lowest it's been in 20 years.

I volunteer with @Chapter One UK because I've seen what happens when we give struggling readers the right support. Just 30 minutes a week with a caring adult who believes in them creates an incredible transformation.

This week (2-9 December), Chapter One's Big Give Christmas Challenge makes your donation go twice as far. Every pound is DOUBLED, helping Chapter One to provide even more weekly 1:1 reading sessions to children facing disadvantage. 🌟📚⚡

As a volunteer, I've seen first-hand how these sessions transform the lives of young readers. Can you help? Donate here: https://donate.biggive.org/cam...

Not able to donate? Please help spread the word - and if your organisation would like to partner with Chapter One, I’d be happy to answer any questions!
