    STATE OF THE NATION AND IMPACT REPORT 2015/2016 Giving disadvantaged children the literacy skills to succeed in life STATE OF THE NATION AND IMPACT REPORT 2015/2016 1 ABOUT THE NATIONAL LITERACY TRUST We are an independent charity that transforms lives through literacy. We believe that literacy is a vital element of action against poverty, and that improving reading, writing, speaking and listening skills boosts life chances and increases employability and earning potential. We run literacy projects in deprived communities and we support schools and early years settings to deliver outstanding literacy provision. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions. We campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and parents. Early action on literacy can turn around a child’s future and our work is focused on those critical moments in literacy development where we can make the greatest impact. Our mission is to equip disadvantaged young people with the literacy skills they need to get a job and to be successful in life. Our impact in 2015/16 We directly supported the literacy of 103,465 children through our programmes Patron We supported literacy in 6,453 schools and 133 early years Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall settings President We launched ‘Read Manchester’ to boost literacy Baroness Usha Prashar CBE throughout the city and continued work in our National Vice President Literacy Trust Hubs in Middlesbrough, Bradford and Amanda Jordan OBE Peterborough Director 32,569 children
