We now have a collecting point in the Shul lobby for any books your children have grown out of so that they can find new homes with others across the local community.
About the Children’s Book Project
Across 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. 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.
