Shannon Trust supports 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.
Shannon Trust supports 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 Plan changes this, giving adults in prison the chance to learn to read 1-to-1 with a peer mentor.
The success of the Shannon Trust Reading Plan relies on the quality of the relationship between Mentors and Learners. Behind the scenes there is a team of people who need to work together to make this experience of learning positive and life enriching.
