Read for Good

Reading is nothing short of life-changing. Children and young people who love reading are more likely to do well in school, secure good jobs, and enjoy positive well-being throughout their lives. There is no better way to find joy, comfort and escape, especially in difficult times. Yet in 2020 nearly a quarter of the UK鈥檚 under 18s never or rarely read for pleasure. Read for Good works in hospitals and schools across the UK to help all children to love reading.

William鈥檚 story

William鈥檚 story
When William learnt he had cancer at age 13, Read for Good鈥檚 books and storyteller visits helped him to cope emotionally with the diagnosis and hospital treatment, and continue to support his mental health and disrupted schooling through the pandemic.

Supporting children in hospital

Supporting children in hospital
Every year, Read for Good provides 27,000 carefully chosen new books and regular professional storytelling sessions to the UK鈥檚 30 children鈥檚 hospitals. Every day, our books and stories support the education and well-being of seriously ill children.聽
