We would like to invite the children to bring in any new or gently used children’s books for The London Children’s Book Project. Alternatively you may wish to purchase an old favourite to donate. The charity can accept any children’s books in good condition.
Drop off on Monday 3rd June to the office (not before please!)
About the Children’s Book Project
Across London and the UK 1 in 4 disadvantaged children owns fewer than 10 books, whilst 1 in 8 has none at all. This has an impact not only on these children’s academic outcomes but also on their wellbeing, emotional development and sense of themselves as a reader.
The Children’s Book Project directly tackles this ‘book gap’ and gifts donated books to targeted communities across the Capital. Over 500 schools, community groups, women’s groups and prisons nationwide put on book gifting events at which children are invited to choose a book to take it home and keep. The charity expects to gift upwards of 350,000 books this year.
