Community fundraising

If you want to organise your own fundraising event for BookTrust, we have lots of support and resources on hand to make it a success!

Fundraising doesn’t have to be a big deal. There are lots of small things you can do to raise a bit of cash. The best thing to do is to get your friends involved too – at school, at home or at work, that way you can share the work and the fun!
