OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS AND
VOLUNTEERS
Our corporate partners and volunteers are at the
very heart of our Online Reading Volunteers
Programme, providing each and every child that
we help with dedicated, tailored, one-to-one
support to enable them to unlock the power of
reading.
132
corporate partners
2,744
Every year we sign-up existing and new partners
from a variety of sectors and company sizes, who
provide the volunteers and funding to support the
continuation and growth of our work. We are
proud that our partner retention rate has
averaged 87% in the years since our launch in
2018.
We are enormously grateful to the 132 corporate
partners who, as part their commitment to give
back to communities and deliver social value,
believed in the transformative power of literacy
and supported us throughout 2023-24. We also
thank the fantastic 2,744 employee volunteers
from our partners for the consistent, practical
support they provided over the school year to
struggling children in the early years of their
education journey, so that they were set up to
succeed.
