Castle Story Builders

The National Literacy Trust in Nottingham works to create a culture of reading and raise literacy levels across the city. Through partnerships with schools, families, and local organisations, the charity empowers communities with the life-changing benefits of literacy.

Castle Story Builders is an event pioneered by the charity’s Literacy Champion volunteers, designed to inspire a love of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
