Anne-Marie promotes children's Summer Reading Challenge

Summer Reading Challenge

The Summer Reading Challenge launches on Saturday 8th July – and The Reading Agency recently came to Parliament to promote it to MPs.

  • 91% of public libraries are taking part
  • Children set their reading goal, then read to collect special stickers, certificate and medal rewards.

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge has a sport and games theme – plus they’re teaming up with Nike and Rebel Girls to gift 500,000 books to children. A great theme for a summer where we’ll cheer on the Lionesses in the FIFA Women's World Cup!

Education & Families

I committed to modern new schools for our communities. Alnwick’s Duchess High was first in 2016, there are more places at Morpeth’s KEVI, and I will campaign for the new school buildings needed for Berwick, while pushing for the delivery of the new school in Amble.

Supporting our Rural Communities and Services

A key priority for me is supporting the rural communities and services in my constituency. From rural policing, local schools and small businesses, to rural broadband, post offices and banks, this page is a collation of my work towards that.
