Help us to change children’s lives
The World Book Day Charity.
World Book Day is all about reading for fun, because it’s seriously life-changing for children. As a charity we need public donations to help make it a huge success every year. Please donate so that we can inspire a new generation to see reading differently
We help every child own a book
Through our nationwide £1 book token exchange and direct community distribution programmes millions of children can choose a free book each year. By making books fun and accessible, we transform attitudes to reading encouraging more families, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to enjoy books together.
We make reading fun for everyone
Children get to choose a book they want to read, and take part in celebrations that inspire them to see reading differently – as a fun, entertaining and social thing to do. World Book Day brings together schools, publishers, authors, bookshops, libraries, retailers and lots of other partners. Because the brilliant thing is, reading for fun seriously transforms children’s lives.
We’re here to inspire
How you can support WORLD BOOK DAY:
Please donate to help us share the fun of reading with every child, and seriously change lives.
World Book Day is all about reading for fun. It’s not about creating rules or telling children they should read because it’s good for them. Instead, they get to choose a book they want to read, and take part in celebrations that inspire them to see reading differently – as a fun, entertaining and social thing to do.
