A big shoutout to Shaftesbury Capital. Today we visited St Peter’s Primary School in London with Shaftesbury Capital as part of our ‘Right to Read’ initiative to handover 6 boxes of new books worth £2,000.

The afternoon was heart warming - it was beautiful to see all the twinkling eyes and happy smiles. The children excitedly selected their favourite reads and the school motto ‘Reading changes lives' strongly resonated throughout the visit.

A big thank you to Shaftesbury Capital for helping us to make a difference to children and making an ever lasting positive impact.

‘Right to Read’ addresses the falling literacy levels and aims to improve the life chances of the young by making books more accessible to Primary School children.

A big shoutout to Nick from ‘Cafe Torelli’ who was shortlisted amongst the several nominations for the Richmond Community Hero Award for 2023. Richmond Upon Thames Annual Community Hero Awards recognises local heroes who have positively impacted the local community.

Nick has the community in the heart of everything he does and is dedicated to help and support the community and make it an even happier place to live in. Anyone who has been to Cafe Torelli knows just how welcoming Nick is and I’m surprised how he knows each persons name and exactly how they like their coffee! Shows how Cafe Torelli is not just a cafe but an emotion in it self!

Nick has been a staunch supporter of Expect Amazing’s ‘Right to Read’ initiative where we help fund school libraries. Nick has supported 3 local schools making a difference to 800+ children with books worth approx £5k. And I must add, each time I speak to him he’s always eager to do more.

Thank you Nick for your ever lasting support and huge congratulations again!

A big shout out to Shaftesbury Capital for their incredible effort and support by funding library books worth £2,000 to Burdett-Coutts & Townshend foundation CofE Primary School through our RIGHT TO READ initiative. Their support will help us continue our mission of providing schools with library books which will help empower young people with the literacy skills they need to succeed, ensuring a brighter future for all. Thank you, Shaftesbury Capital, for helping children change their stories.

In 2024, we have signed Vision for Literacy Business Pledge with the National Literacy Trust.

The nation is facing a literacy crisis which is restricting opportunities for children to reach their full potential and holding back the nation’s economy.

Does your business want to make a difference? Over the next year, we will be working hard to give more children the literacy skills they need to succeed. Why not partner with the Expect Amazing and help children who are facing significant barriers to accessing books?

Last year my daughter came home from school with a book to read over the summers. And I thought it was the best end of academic year gift ever!

It wasn’t a book which she would have picked up herself and found she loved the new style of book to explore.

She read the book over the summer break, discussed it with friends when they met over play dates and it was lovely to see they interpreted parts differently!

Fast forward to school reopening: After 6 weeks at home the book became the highlight of the initial settling back in days. The class carried out fun activities around the book and made the transition back in extremely smooth and exciting!

Would really recommend looking in to summer reading with year teachers and encourage reading.
