Trevor Phillips OBE, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, says:
"In a world where effective expression has become vital to participation, the capacity to write well is more than a luxury for middle-class folk. It is one page of the passport to social mobility. Any effort to extend the capability to communicate beyond those who already have it is the modern-day mission to the disadvantaged.
Jenny Lewis has worked for the Equality and Human Rights Commission for a year and I know she is deeply committed to the principles of our organisation - to create a society built on fairness and respect, with people who are confident in all aspects of their diversity.
Her vision now is to develop writing and communication courses for everyone, regardless of age, gender, disability, race, sexual orientation or religion and belief. So that, in one of the most cultured and literate cities in the world, the benefits of culture and literacy are available to everyone."
