Like every person and every organisation, we’re changing how we do things in response to the Covid-19 virus.
Shannon Trust is a national charity supporting thousands of prisoners a year to transform their lives by unlocking the power of reading. We inspire and train prisoners who can read to teach prisoners who can’t.
For most of us, reading is a skill we take for granted. For thousands of people in prison, reading a letter from home, a job application or a newspaper is impossible. The Shannon Trust reading programme changes this, giving adults in prison the chance to learn to read 1-to-1 with a peer mentor.
