A&L Goodbody

A&L Goodbody have created a unique idea to improve literacy in Dublin schools. Since 2016 a 'Writer in Residence' has worked with 180 A&L Goodbody staff and Suas Educational Development charity to support literacy for 150 local children. Reading schemes are usually one of the first projects a firm set up when supporting education, but the unique angle to this project has given clarity and direction, leading to greater impact.
