In the charity's own words
Got to Read offers one-to-one support to adults across Suffolk who for any reason have left formal education but do not yet have the skills that they would like with reading and writing. It is particularly able to support those who do not have the skills or confidence to attend group literacy classes and who may want to start from the beginning with reading and writing.
