There's much to celebrate: share your joy and change children's future too
From big birthdays and baby showers to graduations and retirements or engagement parties, weddings and anniversaries there are many milestones and joyful moments to celebrate in our lives.
You could share the joy of your special event or occasion and create a life-changing legacy by also fundraising for the National Literacy Trust.
Set up a JustGiving page
You can make your celebration extra special by supporting the literacy of disadvantaged children across the UK, giving them the skills they need to succeed. Celebrate your special occasion by setting up a JustGiving page. Sharing your page is a simple way to invite friends and family to donate in honour of your day.
For more tips on creating an eye-catching JustGiving page, check out our fundraising toolkit.

Throw a party
Planning a birthday party or engagement gathering? Why not use it as an opportunity to do some fundraising - by asking for a small donation from your guests to attend. Download our DIY branded bunting to decorate your party, National Literacy Trust-style.
Make a one-off donation
Another generous way to commemorate your celebration is by making a donation yourself - just £10 could enable three families from disadvantaged communities to attend motivational reading events, inspiring them to read for pleasure and giving them the tools to support their children’s literacy skills at home.
