MP Steve Barclays says it’s been “great” to launch the sixth annual ‘Read to Succeed’ campaign to get more local schoolchildren reading. After launching the scheme in 2016, the north east Cambridgeshire MP has seen success and support from charity groups, local businesses and even the Bishop of Ely. “Thanks to all the local councillors for their support, alongside the Bishop of Ely, charity groups and so many local businesses,” said Mr Barclay today (March 11). Throughout the coming weeks and months Mr Barclay will be working with partners to improve literacy during the summer holidays. The Read to Succeed campaign seeks to raise donations of new books from residents across North East Cambridgeshire. It was launched with the expectation that every year 4 pupil across the constituency will receive a new book, which in turn links to a host of programmes being run by local libraries during the school holiday.
