THE SALFORD LITERACY TRAIL

The Salford Literacy Trail is a stunning collaboration between the National Literacy Trust and the Bupa Foundation to create 20 Book Bench sculptures in the heart of Salford. Running from Thursday 14th July to Friday 9th September, these eye-catching, unmissable benches have been designed by local artists working together with Salford schools. Each one uniquely captures how children feel about the books and stories that have inspired them and helped them to get in touch with their emotions. It’s an opportunity for families to discover the joys and benefits of reading by exploring the trail and taking part in a programme of activities over 10 weeks in the summer.

Graham & Brown x IWW

Emily Coxhead has created a special range of mood-boosting wallpapers to coincide with International Wallpaper Week. Anything but understated, these bright and colourful designs include signature Happy News smiley face polka dots and playful sticker doodle prints. Whether it's for a kid's bedroom, playroom, downstairs loo or any other living space, decorating with one of these striking wallpapers is bound to create a fresh, cheerful background that'll help put a smile on your face. An added bonus? With every roll of wallpaper sold, we'll be donating £5 to the ‘Happy News for Schools’ initiative. Which means every roll sold will be directly responsible for sending a ten-pack of newspapers to a school in the UK.
