Literacy takes you out of refuge.

It feeds hearts, It changes minds, It grows lives.

Supporters of Refuge In Literacy UK

How Our Supporters Stand With Us

Refuge In Literacy UK is supported by a thoughtful and generous community of people, publishers, organisations, and creative professionals. Each supporter contributes in their own way, helping us bring signed books, reading prompts, and meaningful literacy resources to children, young people, and families living in domestic violence refuges.

As a non-profit organisation, this support strengthens our ability to offer calm, steady, and carefully considered literacy experiences to families across the United Kingdom. We are deeply grateful for their encouragement, collaboration, and belief in the importance of literacy confidence.
