JOIN Our GROWING COMMUNITY OF ACTIVISM AND support!
Supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, H IS FOR HARRY is running an outreach campaign using the film tell a new story about:
The impact of illiteracy on children’s futures
The complex issues that lock families in poverty and hold children back from achieving their potential
The need for schools, education and communities to work together to drive change
The need to listen to children and young people.
H IS FOR HARRY and our Vision for Change is a call to action for parents, teachers, children, young people and policy makers to make the changes needed to improve educational disadvantage.
Evidence shows that early years intervention can transform a child's life chances and that those in poverty are more likely to need extra support.
