12 days of Bookmark, 15 December 2020
12 Days of Bookmark
Campaign by Bookmark (RCN 1177681)
You have 12 days, between 12th - 24th December, to complete a fun, socially distanced challenge based around the number 12. Run 12 miles, knit 12 festive scarves, read 12 short stories or come up with a challenge that's entirely your own!

Story

Being taught to read should be a birth-right but it is not one that every child enjoys. Bookmark is a literacy charity giving children the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life, and their work has never been more important. Even prior to school closures, eight children in an average class would leave primary school unable to read well and, during lockdown, 380,000 children were at home without a single book. I'm raising funds for Bookmark to change a child's story.
