Press

Welcome to BookTrust’s media centre for journalists.

We are the UK’s largest children’s reading charity. We get millions of children reading, especially those from low-income families or vulnerable backgrounds.

We can offer expert comments on how we’re supporting children, young people and families across the UK. If you’re a journalist and have an enquiry or want to interview a spokesperson or case study, contact our media team.
