Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Our Charity, based in Woking, Surrey, is called Lets Read Ltd. We are passionate about literacy and wish to make a difference to the lives of young people who struggle to read. We aim to make a real difference by helping to improve their reading skill and providing free books. We believe the lack of basic literacy skills perpetuates the cycle of disadvantage and deprivation in our community.
