Tritax and Schoolreaders
Schoolreaders is proud to have partnered with Tritax Big Box REIT Plc since 2019.
Tritax Big Box owns, manages, and develops logistics assets throughout the UK. Schoolreaders, as the largest in-school literacy charity in the country, is playing a key role in Tritax Big Box’s five-year social value strategy, which focuses on improving education and opportunities for young people in the communities in which they operate.
The company is seeking to reach and impact 250,000 young people in total over five years. Due to Tritax Big Box’s financial contributions and active engagement with Schoolreaders, in 2025/26 875 children are receiving weekly face-to-face support with reading throughout England, which will total 33,250 individual reading sessions over the current academic year. This number will grow further in the coming years.
Supporting Schoolreaders helps Tritax Big Box build relationships in the local communities they are working in. Through the partnership they are investing in children’s literacy and in turn their own future workforce and that of their clients, through the vital skill of reading.
Schoolreaders offers opportunities for Tritax Big Box colleagues to volunteer, sharing their skills with children whilst also developing skills themselves. Schoolreaders provides Tritax Big Box with a bi-annual reports which includes detailed data on the number of children the company’s donations supports in areas they operate. Both Schoolreaders and Tritax Big Box celebrate the partnership through newsletters, regular communications and social media posts, sharing stories and highlighting milestones reached.
CEO of Schoolreaders, Sally Wrampling and Corporate Partnerships Manager, Carolyn McDonald, have presented to the team in person to engage colleagues in the partnership by giving them a greater understanding of Schoolreaders and the impact Tritax’s donations are making. The measurable impact that the financial contributions are making to support the learning of children in areas in which they operate, and the ability to report on these figures in their reporting cycles.
By 2029 the partnership with Tritax Big Box will enable our volunteers to support 1,375 children with one-to-one reading sessions every week. The generous annual donations will support over 5,500 children in total with weekly reading sessions over five years which is the equivalent of 183 primary school classes.
