Literacy Awareness Training for Community Groups: 30th September & 1st October
As community and voluntary groups, you are a trusted source of information, advice and support in communities. If people have literacy needs, can they fully access your programmes and supports, volunteer with you or find out about the literacy supports that might help them?
In Ireland over 500,000 adults struggle with reading and understanding information and using everyday maths. This can mean they may not feel comfortable or confident joining groups and clubs, doing courses, accessing services or applying to be a volunteer.
