Engagement of Literacy Champions in Nottingham

Literacy Champions are community-based volunteers in National Literacy Trust Hubs, who support literacy in their local areas.

The Nottingham Literacy Champions project, delivered by Read on Nottingham (Nottingham's National Literacy Trust Hub) which is funded locally by SSBC, has been particularly successful, with many volunteers involved in a wide range of literacy activities.

To understand the key to the Literacy Champions' success, we conducted a piece of research together with the National Literacy Trust.  Eleven Literacy Champions were interviewed, to help us understand the factors that supported their engagement. 

The report 'Engagement of Literacy Champions in Nottingham' was produced by Anne Teravainen-Goff and Aimee Cole (National Literacy Trust) and Amy McDonald (Small Steps Big Changes).
