Adult Literacy Trust
Provides adults with one-to-one support to improve their reading skills and confidence as a complement to formal education provision through a network of specially trained volunteer Reading Coaches. The Adult Literacy Trust works closely with learning providers such as Further Education Colleges and Institutes for Adult Learning to provide people in disadvantaged communities with enhanced support.
