READ FOR GOOD is the national reading for pleasure children’s charity. Based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, we work with schools and hospitals to unleash the life-changing power of books and stories in children. We do this through our initiatives – Readathon®, Track My Read®, Brilliant Box of Books, Read for Goodin hospitals – and our Events Programme.

We encourage children through our sponsored Readathon in schools, which helps us provide books for school libraries, and books and storytellers for children in hospital throughout the UK. Freedom of choice, reading without assessment and reading with purpose underpin the success of our work with children.

Numerous studies show that reading changes lives: from educational outcomes and social mobility to emotional well-being. And there’s ample evidence to demonstrate that enjoyment drives the core skill of reading and that motivation is an integral element of reading well. Our loop of children reading to help other children in hospital is both time-tested and ingenious, and helps achieve our vision.
