About our group:

Read Easy Cornwall was started in September 2022 and covers the Isles of Scilly.

Read Easy groups are financially independent from Read Easy UK, and we are responsible for raising all the money needed to keep our group going. If you would like to support our work, please get in touch to find out how.

Read Easy Cornwall was the first Read Easy group to be established to cover a whole county. The group intends to build on the experience gained during the Covid 19 pandemic by using video-conferencing for management.

With a low population (around 530,000) and well-spread, the group will operate with three areas – West, Mid and East – as shown on the map above, to minimise travel time and cost.

The Skills for Life Survey (2011) statistics showing that 7.7% (24,807) adults in Cornwall could benefit from the Read Easy programme. However, data about the location of adults who would benefit from our support is vague, though there is evidence that the percentage is higher for those in rural communities.

Group Supporters:

We would like to thank the following organisations for supporting us:

  • Cornwall Community Foundation
  • Cornwall Council Community Chest
  • St Ewe’s Quiz Club (at The Crown, St Ewe)
  • The National Lottery Community Fund (Awards for All)
