Foundation of Light benefits from BookTrust donation

Foundation of Light’s Skills department has benefitted from a generous donation from BookTrust.

Shauni Sanderson from the BookTrust has kindly donated over 200 books to the Foundation of Light which will be used by Family Learning, English and Study Programmes.

BookTrust are the UK's largest reading charity, reaching millions of children every year with books, resources and support to get every child reading, regularly and by choice.

They are developing their work in the 0-14 age space and offer freely available resources - such as book recommendations, tools to support home and school engagement, and resources to help with reading aloud - via their website.

They sometimes offer surplus resources to support organisations that reach out to them, and after being contacted by Foundation of Light Functional Skills Tutor Amyleigh Treweeke, they were very keen to help out. The donation has provided valuable resources to various Foundation of Light programmes, as well as supporting BookTrust’s strategy to reach families and students who may not have the advantage of having their own books.
