Finances and fundraising
Find out how we raised and spent money in 2021-22 to support children and families.
During the year, we raised £11.1m in funding from various sources and spent £11.6m, including a drawdown from our reserves. The chart below shows how we spent the funds to support reading for different age groups.
For every £1 we spent, 92.9p went on supporting reading and 7.1p went on fundraising and governance.
From marathon walks to book clubs, virtual walks and everything in between – fundraising is a great way to bring people together and have fun, while doing something amazing.
