Building a brighter future, one story at a time! ??? We are incredibly proud to announce that many of our employees are stepping up to make a difference in the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds through the?Chapter One UK?project. In 2022, a startling 38% of 11-year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds left primary school unable to read at the expected level (KS2 SATS). This statistic reflects a broader issue: 1 in 8 disadvantaged children in the UK don't own a single book, and 1 in 7 children are never read a bedtime story by their parents. Chapter One's mission is tackle these shocking statistics by empowering children through literacy, which we are honoured to be a part of. ???? Our team members have dedicated their time to volunteer and provide reading support to these amazing young minds. Together, we're not just building bridges, but also creating brighter futures. ?
