What our sponsors say

Six years ago we started with a dream - a free book for every child starting school. Six years, 17,000 schools, 1,000 libraries, 1,000 Pearson Booktime employee volunteers, 7 million books and 4 million children later - that dream is a reality. Thank you Booktrust on behalf of every child and their carer who have discovered the joy of reading together through Booktime. Many aspire to partnership; few attain it. Booktrust understands partnership. Booktrust delivers. Working together as partners based on a shared passion for inspiring committed readers, we truly have achieved more.

The BBC National Short Story Award has gone from strength to strength over the last seven years, underpinned by a strong sense of common purpose and trust. Booktrust manages the Award very efficiently, dealing with everything from entries and the judging panel, to press and publicity. They understand the particular concerns of the BBC and are careful to work within our guidelines. From my perspective, this is a partnership of enormous value.

Thanks to the flair of Booktrust, a multi-dimensional process has been made to appear smooth, seamless and straightforward and judges can do their work without having to worry about logistics. Through Booktrust, the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize has enjoyed the highest level of proactive and resourceful service. It's a pleasure to turn the spotlight on their achievement for once.
