Sandwell Mayor joins National Literacy Trust to launch Take 10 to Read campaign
The Mayor of Sandwell,
Councillor Syeda Khatun MBE met with Aman of the National Literacy Trust in the Black Country today (2 October) to help launch this year's Take 10 to Read campaign. All Sandwell council employees are being encouraging to get involved even if just for 10 minutes. Everyone can get involved by heading to the Literacy Trust.
Remember reading doesn’t have to be a book. It could be the post-match analysis of Saturday’s football game, an interview with a favourite actor, DIY hacks or even recipes. Plus, if you have little ones aged 0-5 the Literacy Trust are hosting a Storytelling event with the Albion Foundation at their community sports hall on the 10 October. The Mayor of Sandwell, Councillor Syeda Khatun MBE, said: “We all know that the ability to read is a great life skill, but it should also be fun. I am encouraging everyone to take 10 minutes to take part and read something whether they are five or 95.”
