A gift of a book could be the start of everything this Christmas
We’re delivering 18,000 book parcels this Christmas to children who need them most. But we need your help.
Donate to gift books to children
Reading changes everything. Please donate today.
At Christmas, when money is tight, children who don’t get many presents – or whose families can’t afford celebrations – often miss out the most on the magic of reading.
That’s why, every Christmas, BookTrust delivers thousands of surprise festive book parcels to vulnerable children and children in care. Some have never had a book of their own before, so you can just imagine the smiles on their faces.
Stories shape how children understand themselves and the world around them. Your donation doesn’t just put books into children’s hands – it opens doors to imagination, confidence and possibility.
The difference you make
We know that reading changes everything, that’s why we’re delivering 18,000 festive book parcels to children who need them most this Christmas.

The Pioneers Project is one of BookTrust’s partners in Plymouth, where festive book parcels are being gifted to local families. Here’s why your donations are so important in helping more children experience the joy and benefits of books and shared reading as an ordinary part of childhood.
