Read North East

Read North East works with families, schools and the community to raise children’s literacy levels and encourage reading. They do this by providing free books, literacy events, resources and activities.

They work in 4 main areas of the North East: Newcastle, Gateshead, Stockton and Redcar.

You can volunteer with Read North East to become a Literacy champion. Literacy Champions share free literacy activities and resources, host reading or writing groups, community book swaps and other ways to encourage people to read

Read North East is supported by The National Literacy Trust
