More pupils in the UK and Ukraine are set to benefit from reading for pleasure! Earlier this year, we launched our UK-Ukraine schools partnership programme, which focuses on the importance of reading. Now with a further £50,000 of government funding, 30 additional schools across the two countries are joining the initiative – standing with Ukraine and boosting reading skills through our Plan for Change. Visit the Education Hub to learn more.
