PROJECT FOCUS: READING OASIS

Did you know that not every school has a library? 

In fact, thousands of schools across the UK do not have access to a library or dedicated reading space. 

Reading is an essential tool that helps children to improve their knowledge, expand their vocabulary and nurture their creativity. Skills that will help them succeed later in life. 

Find out how United Way UK is rolling out our Reading Oasis programme to ensure that no child misses out.

  • "Wow! More books from United Way. I can’t wait to start distributing these to the classes for lessons and improving their classroom reading corners."

    Assistant Head and Literacy Leader at Vikings Primary School

  • “I don’t think we could have got to this point without United Way UK’s support”

    Abigail Hopper, Headteacher at Nightingale Primary School

  • "Since the Reading Oasis library opened last September, our children have had timetabled library time every fortnight, with 4705 books borrowed since it opened.”

    Susan Stalker, School Business Manager at London Meed CP School

  • "Funding from the Give Local Grant during a time of huge uncertainty and upheaval has been a complete blessing. It has enabled us to continue to survive and thrive."
