Global Educational Trust Bookshops - GET Free Books Our mission is to make reading free and available to all through our FREE Bookshops! Our mission is to make reading free and available to all. SC046627

At the Global Educational Trust we believe that the ability to read is the cornerstone of educational success and a love of reading will last a life-time yet almost 1 billion people entered the 21st Century unable to read a book or sign their own name. In the UK:
• 1 in 6 adults have issues with literacy
• 1 in 3 parents cannot read to their children.
• 3.87 million children do not own a single bo

ok
• 4 million children live in poverty
At the Global Educational Trust, we believe that education and literacy skills help individuals lead a happy and successful life, and needless to say, provide the opportunity for people to become leaders, pioneers and visionaries which is ultimately beneficial to us all. We aim to make reading free and available to all by distributing FREE Books into communities. As a registered charity we rely on the kindness and generosity of people like you.

Can any of you fulfil this task between now and the end of 2025???

We can help with number 10 and you never know what our volunteers might suggest.

Anyone up for a reading challenge? I love this one from PS - Feel Good About It. Every year I sit down and plan out the books I could read for each challenge...and I never finish it. Will next year be the year? Prompt 10 should be easy!
