The National Literacy Trust would like to introduce a local literacy campaign called 'Birmingham Stories' – and
what an incredible ‘Birmingham Story’ we have witnessed over the last few
weeks. We are blown away by the energy and pride the Commonwealth Games have
brought to the city – championing our local culture and heritage as well as
sport.
Linked to the Games, we recently ran the My Commonwealth Story festival – which used the excitement and passion
surrounding sport to inspire people of all ages to engage with literacy.
Here is a special video celebrating both the
event, and the work we do to raise literacy levels and change life stories
across the city of Birmingham.
