Story

L2L2R was introduced to me during my year of working in one of the wonderful Wandsworth Nursery schools. The charity reaches out to families to give the earliest support on engagement with books, home reading and a love of literacy. Strong early literacy skills are a great predictor for children to do well at school. I am privileged to receive a place from L2L2R on the Royal Parks run in October.

Every little helps so please support me in this venture if you can x
