2026 is officially the National Year of Reading in the UK, a major government-led initiative designed to tackle a steep decline in reading for pleasure.
We have had World Book Day for Children, but this campaign also aims to address the fact that half of UK adults do not read regularly and many struggle with literacy. World Book night is for adults and is to be held on 23rd April. This annual celebration of adult reading is a cornerstone of the 2026 campaign. Reading helps to let our imaginations grow and is good for well-being, as well as the ability to develop skills. Read more using the link below.

Support Our campaign - The Power of a Dyslexia Diagnosis
Are you able to support our campaign by helping us towards our target of £2000?
The aim is to allow us to support more dyslexic adults receive a life-changing diagnosis. This can be a full diagnostic assessment or a screening, to include a meeting with our team to discuss ways forward. A dyslexia diagnosis can be transformational as it provides clarity, replaces self-doubt with understanding, and opens access to support and strategies that match how the brain learns. Most importantly, it confirms that dyslexia isn’t about intelligence. Our aim is to help people build confidence and we advocate for their needs.
