Each year, the National Literacy Trust holds a fundraising auction to help raise money for our work. Take a look at some of our top prizes which you can win. The auction will take place on Wednesday 11 February so we encourage you to place your highest bid ahead of the live auction on the night in order to avoid disappointment.

One person in six in the UK lives with poor literacy and all the money raised through this auction goes directly towards tackling this problem.
