Readathon is very well organised and the kids really enjoy it.

Secondary School, Sheffield

We enjoyed Readathon very much and it tied in extremely well with this year's focus on reading.

Primary School, West Norwood

What people are saying about Readathon

I'd like to thank you for all the materials you sent, especially the posters and ideas for assembly, all have come in very useful.

Secondary School, Thornbury

What people are saying about Readathon

I love the fact that you're raising money doing something that I love. I'm going to try to beat my own record from last year which was 23 books.

Pupil, Secondary school, Grantham

What people are saying about Readathon

I had all but given up on trying to get my daughter (Year 4) to read but this has given her the push she needed. We can't stop her now. Thank you."

Readathon is boxing clever - thanks to Smurfit Kappa!
Readathon would like to say a HUGE thank you to box manufacturer Smurfit Kappa who are giving us the boxes we need to send out all our Readathon Packs this year …for FREE!

It’s really generous and by helping us reduce our costs, more of money YOU raise for Readathon this year will go to the good causes we support.

That’s why we want to say thank you. So three cheers for Smurfit Kappa. Hip, hip …horray …horray …HOORAY!

P.S.
