Our logo. On the big screen. At @kpmg I honestly had to pinch myself… Expect Amazing was shortlisted for the Partnership Impact Award at the @literacy_trust Vision for Literacy Business Pledge Awards 2026, alongside @britishlandplc, WH Smith and @pilotpenuk In a room full of household names and corporate giants. And us. A small team that started with a simple belief: every child deserves a book. My dad used to sit with me at midnight, wrapping books. He always told me- never give up. Last night I looked at that screen and thought, “Dad, look at us now.” @adele_parks said it beautifully on the night, “reading allows us to live more lives than the one we’ve been gifted with.” That’s exactly why we do this. Every child deserves that gift. This shortlist belongs to every child who held their own book, many for the first time. Every headteacher who opened their doors. Every partner who believed in us… We didn’t win, congratulations to Pilot Pen But we were in that room. We were on that screen. And we are just getting started! #ExpectAmazing #EveryChildDeservesABook #Shortlisted #VisionForLiteracy #nationalliteracytrust taken in KPMG Canary Wharf by @expect.amazing
