‘48% of the prison population have a reading
ability below that expected of an 11 year old’
Prison Reform Trust 2008
Shannon Trust runs the Toe by Toe Reading Plan, an award-winning peer mentoring programme which encourages and supports prisoners who can read to give one-to-one tuition to prisoners who struggle to read. In 2007, we provided resources to teach over five thousand new learners in prison.  “…the single best thing introduced
into prisons in the last ten years”
