In response, The Sunday Times is launching a bold new campaign to "Get Britain Reading." The campaign has three main aims: - Pledge to read for pleasure for at least 10 minutes a day for six weeks - Donate to Bookbanks to put books in the hands of those most in need - Volunteer to read in schools with Coram Beanstalk The leading figures supporting the campaign include Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Salman Rushdie, Jamie Oliver, Michael Morpurgo, JK Rowling, Nick Cave, David Nicholls, Jacqueline Wilson, Katherine Rundell, Philip Pullman, Simon Armitage, Robert Harris, Ian McEwan, Anne Fine, Marian Keyes, Quentin Blake and Dolly Alderton. Ben Taylor, editor of The Sunday Times, said: “The word crisis is overused by journalists. There is a reading crisis, however, and it is applicable to every generation. That is why The Sunday Times today launches our campaign to Get Britain Reading again.” For the campaign The Sunday Times is partnering with two charities: Bookbanks and Coram Beanstalk. Bookbanks partners with food banks, creating weekly pop-up stalls of free books inside them. Coram Beanstalk is a national children’s reading charity with over 50 years’ experience in creating readers through one-to-one, in-person reading support.
