What we do

We collect donations of children’s books that families have grown out of, sort them, and gift them to children with very few books of their own. One in four disadvantaged children in the UK has fewer than 10 books at home. We aim to tackle book poverty and to give each child the opportunity to own their own book.

Our vision

We believe that every child should have the chance to choose and own books they feel excited about and motivated to read, regardless of their circumstances. We are committed to supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds by encouraging a love of reading, which can bring joy and improve education, and, in turn, open many doors in life.

Our impact

This year we will gift over 450,000 books to children who have very few of their own. We work with schools, prisons, food banks and women’s groups to reach children living in the most challenging circumstances.

How you can support Children’s Book Project:
  1. Donate children’s books - Please donate gently used children’s books to us via one of our Book Hubs across the UK. We will put them directly into the hands of those families that will benefit most. Click here to access details of our UK wide drop off points.
  1. Run a book drive - Please run a book drive and invite members of your school or wider community to bring in any children’s books that their family has grown out of. We will gladly help you run a book drive, including support with planning, resources, and book collection: click here for further information.
  1. Fundraise for us - It costs just £162 for us to gift 650 gently used books to children within an average sized primary school. This equates to £10.20 per class, or merely £0.34 for every child to receive an equivalent of 1.5 books. If you can fundraise on our behalf, we would be hugely grateful!
