The impact of your donation
-
£15
Monthly
Your generous donation could put a child’s very first book into their hands. For many children growing up in disadvantaged communities, owning a book is something they’ve never experienced. Their very first book, along with fun activities that build their literacy skills, can help change their life chances.
-
£25
Monthly
If you choose to donate a little bit more, you could give a child access to inspiring school programmes that will help them develop the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that are vital for success at school. Alternatively, your donation could allow a child who has a tough start in life to choose and keep three new books gifted to them at inspirational reading and storytelling events.
-
£50
Monthly
This could help train a Literacy champion volunteer to give parents and carers with low levels of confidence the skills to help develop their child’s literacy, language and communication skills. Or a donation of £50 could help train an early years volunteer to support parents and carers to develop their children’s early language, communication and literacy skills.

- One child in eight from disadvantaged backgrounds does not have a book of their own at home.
- One child in four leaves primary school unable to read to the level expected.
- Only one in three children and young people say they enjoy reading in their free time.
