The Global Campaign for Education  is an international coalition of nongovernment development and children’s rights organisations and education unions.

In the UK the Campaign works to increase community awareness of the state of education internationally and generate the political will necessary to ensure the UK plays an active and effective part in efforts to secure education for all.

 

I'm a trustee of Read: The Reading Agency, whose mission is to inspire more people to read more. Read works with public libraries, publishers, unions, businesses and broadcasters to support reading.

Read's Big Book Share supports prisoners choose a book and then make a recording of themselves reading it, which is then given to the prisoner’s children. Reading can help to keep the family bond strong and can help an imprisoned parent to be a positive role model to his or her children.
