We are also putting together a booklet about Geraldine, with short quotes from those who knew her. Thank you to everyone who has already sent something. If you would like to add one or two lines with your thoughts or memories, please send them to [email protected].
From Oxford Station, you can take the 3 or 3A bus, followed by a seven‑minute walk. If you expect to join us, please let us know so we can plan the catering for lunch: [email protected]
The date for the celebration of Geraldine’s contributions to literacy education has been confirmed. We would be delighted if you would join us on Saturday 15 August 2026, 12:30–3:30pm, at St James Church Centre (Main Hall), 13 Beauchamp Lane, Cowley, Oxford OX4 3LF
We are planning a celebration in Oxford of Geraldine Carter’s life and her contributions to education. If you knew her through her work on reading or through researchED and would like details, please reply or send a private message to [email protected]. (5/5)
In her later years she loved nothing more than attending researchED events. Her contribution over decades was remarkable, and it’s hard to imagine the RRF without her. She will be very much missed. (4/5)
Geraldine Carter died on 17 May, aged 87. Many will remember her as kind, generous, wise, funny, and always ready with insight, encouragement or challenge. (1/5)
