Shannon Trust
We believe nobody should be left out of learning.
Our reading programme is available in all prisons across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We also work with partner organisations in the community, supporting people to learn to read.
Turning Pages, our evidence based reading manuals, enables people to learn in a way that best suits them – either one to one or through self study resources. Our flexible, informal approach even suits those who have never read a word before. Learning to read can be a powerful springboard into so many other opportunities, in fact, 9 out of 10 Shannon Trust learners take up further education.
