Just some comments we've received from teachers and READ volunteers...

King John High School, Essex

Congratulations to King John's High School who raise a massive £1346 for READ!  Their Silly Socks Day was a huge success and they have raised enough money to send 2692 books to East Africa!  This could supply over 6 schools with textbooks, improving access to education and unlocking student's potential - amazing work.  

This year Sixth Formers at King John’s School are trialling our Youth Leadership Project – exciting stuff!
