Become a BookTrust Friend
Become a BookTrust Friend by setting up a monthly donation and help more children experience the joy of reading.
Help us transform lives by getting children and families reading
-
Donating £5 a month could help three families share the joy of reading with their baby from the earliest moments.
-
Giving £10 a month for a year will provide 20 families with book packs to support toddlers with additional needs.
-
A generous £15 per month for a year could pay for 10 libraries to run Storytime sessions, inspiring families to make reading part of everyday life.
Reading really can change lives
BookTrust provides books, guidance and resources to families to ensure that all children have access to stories in their home and develop a reading habit. This task is more important than ever with more children at risk of falling further behind and needing extra support, following the disruptions that families faced during the pandemic.
With your help, we can continue our vital work and help these children experience the joy and wonder of stories. By making a regular donation, you will become a BookTrust Friend. BookTrust Friends are very special people – people who believe that reading really can change a child’s life. People who know that children who read for pleasure are likely to be happier, do better at school and be more emotionally prepared for life.
By being a BookTrust Friend you’ll receive…
- Monthly newsletters with inspiration, updates and stories from the families you’re helping by being a Friend.
- Support from our friendly team to help with any questions along the way.
- A free BookTrust bookmark when you make your first monthly donation!
