After hearing the sad news yesterday of the death of Benjamin Zephaniah, one of the nations most loved poets and performers, we'd like to recommend his autobiography, The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah. It's a vivid, honest, and compelling account of his life, and a reminder of the importance of the arts. Benjamin was a strong supporter of literacy, and spoke forcefully of the power of reading and the importance of books for everyone, stating that "books saved my life, now they give me life.”

After a fabulous evening in Wednesfield yesterday we can’t wait for tonight’s Light Switch On here in Bilston 🎄.
Come on down and join in the fun 🤗.

We’re all set up for a night of festive fun at the Wednesfield Christmas Light Switch on. Come on down and say hello!

Time to celebrate! Join me in congratulating Tammy who has recently graduated with flying colours!
After working with her coach, Lynn, Tammy is now so much more confident and is enjoying reading a range of books. She has aspirations for the future and we are looking forward to seeing what challenges she takes on next 🤗.
We would like to thank Tammy’s Coach Lynn and her Coordinator Mora for their unswerving support and also the staff at KGJ Insurance Group for providing a fantastic space for Tammy to learn in. It was so lovely that Richard Cox, Managing Director of KGJ, was able to join the celebrations and present Tammy with her certificate 🤗.
Well done Tammy! You have worked incredibly hard and we all wish you all the best for the future!

What a fantastic day! Management Team would like to thank everyone who joined us today for our AGM. It was lovely to see so many Coordinators, Coaches and Readers join us to hear all about what we have been doing this year. We are so proud of what we have achieved here in Wolverhampton and are looking forward to seeing how far we can progress next year!

A massive ‘Thank You’ to all our friends at Churches Together Fordhouses and Oxley who have been fundraising on behalf of Read Easy Wolverhampton. A sponsored walk and contribution from their book club has raised an amazing £1050!!!!!
