NALA and The Wheel Engaging the Sector On Literacy

We have two important updates for you, provided in partnership with NALA, the charity focused on literacy and numeracy education for all.

1. Understanding the Literacy Needs of the Sector As part of the Adult Literacy for Life Strategy, The Wheel and NALA are doing a survey to find out about literacy, numeracy and digital literacy needs of staff and volunteers in the community and voluntary sector.

We are doing this with a view to being able to provide training to the sector afterwards.

Please help us to reach as many volunteers and employees in the sector as possible by sharing the following link and QR code. The closing date for the survey is 5pm on Monday, 23 October.
