Our Friends are special people who care about children's life chances, and want to help us to reach more children in more schools.

Be our friend

Our Friends give regular donations of a minimum of £10 a month, which allows us to buy books for our in-school BookFests, our local Food Banks and our Outreach work.

Our Friends receive:

  • priority booking for our ticketed events

  • regular updates about the difference their donations are making

  • acknowledgement on our website

  • “1 in 15 children and young people aged 8 to 18 do not have a book of their own at home. Children who say they have a book of their own are six times more likely to read above the level expected for their age than their peers who don’t own a book.”
