On a wet Friday, Holly messaged four unsuspecting colleagues to challenge us to abseil down Millers Viaduct in the Peak District. How could we refuse her challenge!

So, Holly, Charlotte, Catherine and Gavin will be picking up the ropes and dangling off the viaduct on 16th March at 1pm.

But why, we hear you cry?

We know that poverty and low literacy go hand-in-hand.

Children who are growing up with the stress of not having enough food and living in cold and damp housing, are not well equipped to develop strong literacy skills. Through our literacy hubs, we aim to target the communities where there are a high number of economically disadvantaged families, giving them free access to resources and support to help them boost their children's literacy skills.

It is vital that we act now to give this generation of children a positive future.

Please support us to raise vital funds for the work that the National Literacy Trust are doing across the Country.
