This summer, the National Year of Reading is teaming up with sporting figures including Joe Wicks, Clare Balding and Georgia Stanway to encourage people to read. The initiative, part of the campaign’s Summer of Sport programme, links reading activity to major sporting events including Wimbledon, the Fifa Men’s World Cup, cricket and Formula 1.
Team captains like Wicks, Balding and Stanway will share book recommendations, discuss how reading has shaped their sporting interests, and encourage audiences to engage with reading in a range of formats.
