Get London Reading campaign - update

I have been following the progress of The Evening Standard Get London Reading campaign in its bid to tackle the issue over high illiteracy rates in the capital. Over the past four months £190,000 has been raised, with hundreds of volunteers stepping forward as mentors to help children improve their reading skills. The Evening Standard has documented numerous case studies of children whose lives have been transformed by the campaign, creating a positive arena for the promotion of reading, particularly at a young age. I look forward to the long-term results of the campaign :)
