One in six people in the UK struggle to read and write.

This means that they live without the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills they need to fulfil their potential.

This is the reality for the UK. But you can help us change it by taking on a Skydiving adventure to build brighter futures through literacy.

The National Literacy Trust is an independent charity that changes lives through literacy. 

“Everybody has the right to read, so that they can read prescriptions, read instructions. It ain’t this big scary thing, it is enjoyable and it can change your life.”

Matt is a 37 year old reformed offender from Walsall. In his youth education didn’t seem important and he spent his time on football, drink and drugs. Matt took part in a National Literacy Trust education project through his local football club – not a school, library or any other institution that he had felt disengaged from throughout his life. Matt now works with young offenders, has completed his access course and will study history at University later this year.

With your support we can make a difference to the lives of millions of people like Matt.
