A Wandsworth based literacy charity, Learn To Love To Read, has launched a series of ‘Story Walks’ in the area to get local children reading more.

These interactive adventures, with chapters of the story situated on a trail around the town for the children to find, provide an exciting way for them to get into books.

The stories have been specially written for Learn to Love to Read by a local author and our Story Spinner, Julie S Sharp. There are 3 stories, each beginning at a local library: The Panama Frog at Putney Library, The Ninth Ninja at Southfields Library and The Wandle Worm at Wandsworth Town Library.

The chapters of the story can be accessed by scanning a QR code on a smartphone which then will bring up a youtube video of a chapter, read aloud. There is also a flyer that can be collected from the library with activities and questions for the children to complete as they embark upon the trail.

More information can be found by visiting the charity’s website, Learn2love2read.org.uk

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
