Bring a book or your kindle along and see how much you can read within 24 hours! Feel free to pop in for 5 minutes, a couple hours or try to last the whole time. We’ll be raising money for charity in the run up to the readathon and on the day, keep an eye out for us around campus. There will be pizza, snacks, soft drinks and breakfast provided, as well as a quiet corner and colouring pages.
The event is ticketed this year so we can make it bigger and even better than last year!
Bookish members £1.50
Non-members £2.50
All proceeds will be going to ReadEasy.
Read Easy UK provides free, confidential one-to-one coaching to adults who want to learn to read. There are over 2.4 million adults in England who struggle to read or who cannot read at all. This means that they find everyday tasks like filling in forms, helping children with schoolwork and reading letters and bills difficult. Being unable to read also impacts on employment opportunities, self-confidence and participating in society. Read Easy’s vision is for all adults in the UK to have the reading skills they need to realise their potential and live life to the full. With your support for our fundraising, more adults across England will be able to learn to read – Read Easy will be able to open new volunteer-run local groups in areas where they do not currently provide support.
