Our Partners:
The Reading Agency
For 2022 the Crime Writers’ Association is partnering with The Reading Agency to deliver the #PickUpAPageTurner message nationwide. With their superb connections to the national library network and over 4000 reading groups, The Reading Agency’s mission is to transform lives through the joy of reading.
In 2020-21, The Reading Agency reached over 1.9 million people across the UK, including more than 800,000 children and over 1 million adults and young people, from toddlers to children to young adults, prisoners and older people – irrespective of economic background.
They believe that reading can tackle life’s big challenges, from social mobility to mental health – and are determined that no one is left behind as they strive towards realising their vision. Working closely with partners to deliver programmes across the UK, from the Summer Reading Challenge for children to Reading Well and Quick Reads for adults, as they strive to reach a larger audience they recognise the importance of listening to, and working with, partners and participants. Their co-creation model has been developed to ensure that their programmes meet the needs of the people who will use them, and the CWA is delighted to be partnering with them on this initiative.
