GOSPORT MP Caroline Dinenage has committed to raise awareness by participating in the British Dyslexia Association’s (BDA) Cappuccino challenge.

The challenge aims to raise awareness of dyslexia by talking to others over a cup of coffee.

The BDA is concerned that dyslexia is poorly understood and many are keeping their difficulties to themselves.

As part of the challenge, the MP met with Sue Malpas MBE, vice president of the BDA to understand dyslexia better.

Caroline said: “It was great to meet up with Sue and to learn how to better understand the condition. Dyslexia is very common and we can all do our bit to support people we know become better at understanding it.

"So please join me in taking part in the Cappuccino challenge!"
