Support our work
Why support us?
We believe that reading can transform people's lives. The more you read, the more you know. The more you read, the more you imagine. The more you read, the better you may understand other people and connect with them.
Our work depends on financial support from many sources. Whether you are an individual, business, or charitable trust, you can help us transform lives through reading.
Individuals
Every donation will help The Reading Agency to reach children and adults whose lives can be improved by reading. If you would like to make a donation to support our work please email giving@readingagency.org.uk and we will call you back to discuss how we will use your donation.
Corporate giving
We have a long history of working with corporate partners including the BBC, Orange and Waterstone's. We are looking to forge partnerships with Corporate Supporters throughout the United Kingdom. There are many ways that businesses can become involved with our initiatives to provide opportunities for your employee and company donations, support your company volunteering programmes or provide creative and exciting CSR activities. Please contact giving@readingagency.org.uk to discuss these opportunities or any other ideas in more detail. We will work with you to meet your specific requirements.
Trusts and foundations
We are very fortunate to have had fantastic support from many charitable trusts and foundations. We would like to thank the following current supporters.
Any charitable trusts or foundations who are interested in our work please contact giving@readingagency.org.uk. We would be delighted to meet you and take you to visit some of our projects.
Raising money for our work
We encourage everybody to get actively involved in raising money for our projects. Recently we've had a team running the Hackney Marshes 10K to raise over £600 for the Six Book Challenge to support adults with lower literacy levels.
We believe everyone is able to make a difference and to help us to achieve the results that we want for thousands of people. Please contact giving@readingagency.org.uk to talk about your ideas for fundraising and we will work with you to support your project.
"Reading can open up all sorts of doors to people. I really can't say how glad I am that I did the Six Book Challenge - and I'm still reading!" Ken Bakker, Bolton
