We held a launch event for the Reading Ahead Challenge, on 11/11/15 at Birkenhead library. It was collaboration between UNISON, The Reading Agency and Wirral Libraries.
Andy Mcnab gave a very inspirational talk, about his journey from a 17 year old, with a reading age of 9, to being a best-selling author. He is trekking to the South Pole next week to raise funds for the Reading Agency, a brilliant charity that works with UNISON, to promote literacy.
Two UNISON members have agreed to be ULR's, which will help Wirral UNISON get more members involved in training and education. Huge thanks to Tom Jenkins, Learning Organiser, UNISON North West, and Martin Russo, National Learning and Development Officer, for all their help, and a special thanks to Paul Wiggins for taking the photographs for us.
