BookTrust Cymru

BookTrust Cymru works to inspire a love of reading in children because we know that reading can transform lives.

Our aim is to bring the benefits of reading to children in the greatest need, with children and families at the heart of innovation, design and development of our programmes.

We work with partners across Wales who gift our bilingual packs and resources, and share our messaging. This work is funded by the Welsh Government.

Bookstart

Through Bookstart, BookTrust Cymru gives every child in Wales their own books to have at home and supports families to read together regularly.

Letterbox Club

Each year we send around 900 Letterbox parcels to children in Wales who are looked-after. The parcels contain books, games and stationery specially selected to inspire a love of reading and engagement with numeracy.

Pori Drwy Stori
