We’re thrilled to have been at the Treasury yesterday evening to hear the Chancellor of the Exchequer commit to ensuring every primary school in the country will have a library by the end of this Parliament.⁠
⁠
Since 2018, our Social Impact team have been working alongside the National Literacy Trust to support schools to transform their libraries through our World of Stories programme 📚🧒⁠
⁠
Working with schools and learning more about the challenges they face made us realise that we couldn’t tackle this issue alone. ⁠
⁠
That’s why in 2021 we co-founded Libraries for Primaries with the NLT — a campaign which aims to ensure every primary school in the UK has a library. Since then, we have transformed 1,500 libraries to date 📖🧡⁠
⁠
After years of collaborative partnership working and the success of the campaign, we know the incredible difference this will make to give the next generation the best start in life.⁠
