We work in Peterborough to inspire a love of reading in families across the city, helping parents and carers to support their children’s literacy skills, and making the magic of stories accessible to everyone.

We work with a focus on getting early years children ready to start school. We also create and share fun activities to encourage reading for pleasure and parental engagement.

  • Fun activities and top literacy tips for Peterborough families.

  • The work we do in Peterborough is community driven, which means we need as many local businesses and people involved as possible.
