About Us
Exceed Reading Stars, a youth-led non-profit organisation, strives to narrow the disparity between a child's age and their reading proficiency.
​
Established in June 2020, amidst the ongoing strain on the UK's education system due to the pandemic, we began working with children who struggle to engage in reading or have a lower reading age than their actual age.
Focused on children from disadvantaged backgrounds in Lambeth and neighbouring boroughs, we address socio-economic challenges, generational unemployment, and limited educational access. Operating within primary and secondary schools, communities, and local libraries, we run various educational projects and intensive holiday programmes
​
Additionally, we offer Youth Social Participation and
Engagement Programs for students aged 16-25,
providing work experience, employment opportunities, and comprehensive training.

What we offer
ABC Achieving Beyond Capabilities
Achieving Beyond Capabilities is designed to address the decreasing educational attainment in literacy among BAME children from disadvantaged communities. We aim to bridge the gap between reading age and actual age by building their confidence and self-esteem, whilst also stimulating their social and personal skills.
