About our cause
Readeasy Merseyside provides free, confidential 1-2-1 coaching to adults seeking to learn to read.
How you can help: Readeasy Merseyside covers the costs of training coaching volunteers, and purchases all the reading materials for the coach and their reader. During the course of their reading journey, Readeasy Merseyside will need to raise approximately £400 to fund each coaching/reading pair. Buying your lottery ticket will help raise the much needed funds to help teach adults to read.
Why is your help needed: Approximately 1 in 6 adults in England, nearly 6 million people, are functionally illiterate (they have a reading age below that expected of the average 9-11 year old). Like so many conditions, adult illiteracy often remains hidden by the sufferers, but the effects can be significant. In practical terms, an adult who cannot read will struggle to do their food shopping, use cash points, read bus or train timetables, or understand health warnings. Going to the doctor, filling in forms, or engaging with the benefits system can all be overwhelmingly challenging. Finding work - particularly rewarding work - can also be very difficult if you can’t read well.
