What the charity does
At Chapter One, we want to create a world where all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive, so we provide one to one reading support at the time they need it most. We provide thousands of children across the UK with online reading volunteers, and also run an early literacy intervention programme. Please visit our website to learn more about our work!
