Jane’s at the Palace Today
This morning is no ordinary morning in the life of Jane Davis: This morning, instead of heading into The Reader's offices in Liverpool, Jane will be waking up in London and making her way to Buckingham Palace to receive her MBE from the Queen for services to Reader Development. It does, as she says, celebrate all that The Reader Organisation has achieved but that achievement has itself been made possible by Jane's drive, enthusiasm and kindness. It is her honour and we - the staff, trustees, volunteers and the thousands of people she's helped get into reading - couldn't be more proud. Enjoy your day, Jane and very, very many congratulations!
