Mencap has launched Spellathon, an initiative aimed at improving literacy and spelling across all ages.

Take part and raise money for Mencap today at http://www.spellathon.net. Entrants can receive a personal invitation from Stephen Fry and a Free Digital Schools Pack that will contain the interactive whiteboard game, assembly video, and everything else needed to take part in the competition.
