MY thanks to the schools and community groups who have entered the BT Reading Challenge. We have received details of a number of projects which are very creative and designed to create an appetite for reading among people who may lack literacy skills, interest or indeed opportunity.

The Challenge offers £100,000-worth of awards to innovative projects.

Telephone 0171 976 2011 or 0171 930 1111 for an application pack, to be in by April 7.
