Anyone from #Wigan interested in helping us find volunteers to become reading helpers in local schools - we need at least 10 new volunteers urgently? Thank you @kayburley.bsky.social @harjeet0121.bsky.social

Share your love of reading this year. To celebrate the National Year of Reading, we've teamed up with children's reading charity @corambeanstalk.bsky.social. We want to help them recruit 250 extra volunteers to provide one-to-one reading support in primary schools.

A thought-provoking speech by our keynote speaker Chris Wright from charity Catch 22 about "joining forces for the collective good of beneficiaries". 🤝 🙌 "It requires us to leave personal and organisational ego outside the door." #TheLiteracyLink

We are delighted that the Julia Rausing Trust have decided to support Coram Beanstalk with a grant of £225,000 over the next three years. This will ensure we can help even more children to discover reading for pleasure, and build their reading skills, ability, and confidence – thank you!

It's April 1st but we're no April Fools as we've chosen a fantastic #BeanstalkBrilliant Book of the Month! The fab new fully illustrated graphic novel for younger readers by our ambassador Liz Pichon is described as an 'all-singing, all-dancing book of JOY' & we agree! 1/3

At Beanstalk we spend a lot of time finding books which we think are 'Beanstalk brilliant' for children who 'don't like reading' Each school we work with gets a pack of brilliant Beanstalk books & we've just chosen 20 new titles for our 25/26 packs www.corambeanstalk.org.uk/beanstalk-brilliant-books

Thank you @mazevansauthor for yet another great book- since you visited his school, my 8yo son has loved your books. We read this together & laughed so much (great jokes for geriatric milennials 😜). A great book for discussing BIG feelings. #Booksaremybag #BooksforWellbeing
