This is the face of a marathon runner – by which I mean, thanks to the many hours of sun exposure, I’m much more freckled than ever before.   Since running the Brighton Marathon over the weekend, I’ve been very grateful for the kindness people have shown in complimenting me on my ‘tan’, and in supporting the National Literacy Trust – the charity to which I’ve been directing any very generous people who asked how they could support me in the run-up to the marathon.   I’ve been asked a couple of times why I chose the NLT, and it basically comes down to the fact that my access to reading and books – at school, through my parents’ own fondness for public libraries, and through a childhood bedroom which to this day could only be more full if books if someone invented ceiling shelves (note to self: research) – has in no small part shaped my life today.   It was that love of storytelling, how words and sentences come together, the different possible worlds contained within what I read (and wrote) that make me who I am and have given me the career I have today – and thus the LinkedIn post that you’re still very kindly bearing with.   Improving literacy levels is one of the most important things we can do to improve both lives and life outcomes. Happier, healthier, wealthier societies have higher levels of literacy. That’s why the work that the National Literacy Trust carries out with children, young people and adults is so important.   If you’d like to support the National Literacy Trust, you can donate via my fundraising page (https://lnkd.in/ep_7-qUm) or directly on NLT’s website (either way, I’d be tremendously grateful).   If you’d like to learn more, pop over to its website here: https://lnkd.in/e5bQnNe4   #StrategicCommunications | #PurposeCommunications

#NationalReadABookDay2024 There’s plenty of research that highlights the power of reading and how it can transform a child’s education. In fact, reading for just 20 minutes a day can significantly improve academic performance and cognitive development. 📖 Regular reading builds stronger vocabularies, enhances concentration, and boosts empathy and emotional intelligence. For teachers, encouraging a love for reading is one of the greatest gifts you can give your students, but we know how challenging it can be to get resources. That’s where charities like BookTrust can help, offering book recommendations, tools to support home and school engagement, and resources for reading aloud—helping every child discover the joy of reading. ✨📚 #LoveReading #EducationMatters #TeachersSupportingKids #FutureReadersFutureLeaders

Wow! We certainly didn’t expect that! Following our post about the Brain Books, we received a wonderful message from a mum whose child was on the brink of school exclusion. After going through the books and learning about how trauma affects the brain and some of the techniques that can be used to help calm the brain and regulate emotions, the young person used that information in a very positive way and is managing to change the situation. The thrilled mum then posted about the books on a forum for other parents and we were so overwhelmed with book orders that we had to get more printed!! 🙌📖 There are many things we can take from this wonderful story, not just about the power of education to change lives, but about the power of a good-news story and spreading the word. All of our mentors are equipped with the knowledge in these books which they can pass on to the young people they support. Please ‘like’ and ‘share’ all of our social media posts and click ‘follow’ on our page so that we can increase our reach and get the message out that mentoring works and we need more volunteer mentors to support young people across Somerset to change their lives.

Being a teacher is not just a profession—it's a profound responsibility. And being a leader in the education sector is even more demanding. Each day presents unique challenges, from diverse student needs and varied capabilities to differing end goals. In the nonprofit education sector, the hurdles are even greater. Operating with minimal human resources, limited funds, and scant infrastructure, we face a daily battle. Yet, I chose this path because education is not just important—it's essential. Every child, regardless of their background, deserves access to quality education, the best learning materials, and dedicated teachers. At UPAY (UnderPrivileged Advancement by Youth), I often witnesses students waiting with hope in their eyes and curiosity in their hearts, yet finding it challenging to secure the support they need from those who have the privilege of contributing. This Teachers' Day, I urge everyone to come together and support the educational landscape we strive to build for the children in need. Even dedicating a couple of hours a week can make a significant difference. Join us and see firsthand how impactful your involvement can be. Your contribution is not just a donation of time—it's an investment in a child's future. Let's make a change together! #TeachersDay #EducationMatters #VolunteerForEducation #SupportOurChildren #MakeADifference #nonprofitEducation
