About

Liverpool City Council awarded a contract to The Reader Organisation for the Tiny Heroes programme, which provides a warm, playful and engaging introduction to reading for care-experienced children in the early years.

The programme is built on the same evidence-informed principles as Reading Heroes but is specially adapted for younger children who learn best through nurturing relationships, repetition, and shared experiences with trusted adults.

The contract was awarded under the Procurement Act 2023 via a request for quotation process, with a value of £34,648.
