News: Horner Brothers recognised for creating better futures

By

Rotherham print group, Horner Brothers, has been named as a finalist in the Yorkshire Forward Creating Better Futures Awards.

The awards recognise partnerships between private and public sector organisations and voluntary, community and faith organisations that benefit communities throughout Yorkshire and Humber.

Horner Brothers have been recognised for their involvement with the Reading Matters charity which began in 2008.

Reading Matters trained employees at the Templeborough company as volunteer reading mentors to enable them to help local school children who struggle with reading.

The scheme provides great team building benefits and volunteers gain satisfaction from the knowledge that they are helping to support and inspire young people by improving their reading skills and self confidence.

In return for the training investment and ongoing support from Reading Matters, Horner Brothers donated £500 to Reading Matters and printed all the marketing and stationary materials for the charity free of charge.

The awards take place in Leeds on July 1 where seven awards will be presented in all. In each case both partners will receive an award and the VCF organisation will receive a £10,000 grant.
