Sadly this is not surprising. We simply do not have a reading culture in the UK. We do not see a recognition from leaders in politics, business or the media that reading can bring huge benefits. Even in education, RfP is crowded out and starved of funds. Where's the drive?

⚠️Reading enjoyment has fallen across all ages.⚠️ The sharpest decline is among pupils aged 11-14 - from 40.4% in 2023 to 30.7% in 2024. As children transition to secondary school, their reading engagement dips - a trend that is worsening. Learn more: literacytrust.org.uk/research-servi…

☕A £5 pumpkin spice latte? Or you can bring warmth and comfort to a refugee family this Autumn by gifting dual language books, helping them feel more confident and at home in their new community. Make a small monthly gift today to provide a brighter future for children in need.


£125 for one test match ticket at Edgbaston. £85 for one T20 ticket in Bristol in 2025. Won't be going to either. Cricket gone wrong @stephenfry @bbctms @ICC_Crickett

Daniel is 18 years old Sunday. A gentler soul you will never meet. He has no friends as he won’t leave home and can’t work. Autism does that to you. Please wish him a happy birthday and RT everywhere . ❤️#happybirthdaydaniel
