On 12th June 2025, we hosted a special event showcasing our recent work delivering storybook sessions for parents and toddlers in South Reading. These sessions have aimed to inspire a love of reading, strengthen early language and literacy, and inspire more book-related activities in young families. The event was an opportunity to:

  • Celebrate the community centres, libraries, families and community partners who made this work possible
  • Share key findings and successes from the programme
  • Thank our funders and supporters
  • Explore how we can continue working together to expand access to early literacy experiences in our local communities
