What it says it does

THE NATIONAL LITERACY TRUST

We are an independent charity that transforms lives through literacy. We improve reading, writing, speaking and listening in communities where poverty is on the increase and literacy levels are low. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions. Our work is focused on critical moments in literacy development when we can make the greatest impact.

Comparison limits

Income less expenditure is arithmetic, not a judgement of efficiency. Capital spending, restricted funds, grants, reserves, staffing models and reporting periods can make a superficial comparison misleading. Open the filed accounts before reaching a conclusion.
