How you can support us

We rely on your generosity to bring Reading Quest within reach of every child who is struggling with reading. Your donations – large or small – make it possible for us to support children who face a life of illiteracy. Without your help we can not continue our work within schools.

There are many ways to donate and in doing so, you will give a child a chance to become a lover of books and reading.

Making a donation

It is easy to make a donation to Reading Quest. For the best way, please click here and register your donation. Don’t forget that you can increase your gift by 28% and it won’t cost you a penny more by using Gift Aid. It simply means that for every pound you give, Reading Quest gets an extra 28p from the Inland Revenue. In order to qualify for gift aid, what you pay in income tax or capital gains must at least equal the amount we will claim in a tax year.

Trusts and foundations

Reading Quest has been incredibly fortunate to have been supported by many charitable trusts and foundations. Such funding is necessary to maintain and develop our work in schools.

Some funders have chosen to give to a particular aspect of our work and others have donated towards core costs. Either way, without such funds we would not have been able to train professionals, teach the numbers of pupils we have or support families in the literacy process.

Everyone at Reading Quest would like to say a big thank you for all the support which trusts and foundations have given us.
