Did you know that over 60% of people in prison can’t read, or struggle to?
It’s always great to know our products are making a positive impact on the community, we have recently partnered with Shannon Trust to support people to learn to read and do numeracy.
Here is some information from Amy at Shannon Trust on how our products will be used:
“We’d like to say a huge thank you to Eastpoint Global for providing us with stationary equipment. One of our mentors in prison had been using a whiteboard from Eastpoint Global, which inspired him to get in touch to see if they could supply some more items.
Shannon Trust is a charity working in prisons to support people to learn to read and improve their numeracy skills. It’s a peer-led scheme, where the charity trains people in prison who can read and/or do numeracy to teach those who can’t.
The stationary items supplied by Eastpoint global will be used in group and one-to-one learning sessions in the prison. Recent learning activities have included word games and writing a story as a group.
Thank you for your support!”
We hope to update you further with more information on this charity shortly! See their website for more information and to see how you can get involved https://www.shannontrust.org.uk
