Activities & Mission

The Literacy Pirates develops literacy, confidence and perseverance among young people who are falling behind at school and who have fewer opportunities. We do that through providing extra adult attention, the chance to work on real-world publishing projects and extra reading support. Activities take place in our unconventional out-of-school learning environments, in Hackney and online.
