This December, Dyslexia Sparks, Hull and East Yorkshire’s only dyslexia charity — lit up the city in a very special way by taking part in the Lord Mayor’s Christmas Tree Festival at Hull Minster.
Each year, the Lord Mayor’s festival invites community groups, charities, schools and local organisations to design and decorate a Christmas tree that reflects who they are and what they stand for. Dyslexia Sparks was proud to be part of this beloved annual tradition in Hull city centre.
Our tree shone brightly, raising awareness of our charity while sharing a meaningful message about the impact we have on students and families. We want to give a huge thank you to our incredible tuition students, who helped decorate the tree with handwritten messages about what our specialist dyslexia support means to them and the difference Dyslexia Sparks has made in their lives. Your voice helped us illuminate the true impact of our charity.
More Than a Tree — Free Books for Children
The Christmas Tree Festival isn’t just a seasonal display — it’s also a chance to make a difference. Dyslexia Sparks used the event to promote a love of reading and literacy, especially among children. We were delighted to give away 200 children’s books to families visiting the festival, helping to spark joy in reading for young people of all abilities.
A special thank you to our sponsor Roclad Systems Ltd. whose support made this project possible. Your generosity helped us bring our mission to life during the festive season.
