Nearly 1 million children in the UK don't own a single book.*

For a child, not having access to books means missing out on the joys of storytelling, the adventure of new worlds, and the learning opportunities that reading brings.

Research shows that early childhood is a critical period for brain development, and reading plays a central role in that growth.

Yet, many families are unable to provide this vital resource, affecting children's future success in life.

This winter, you can make a difference.

If you are able to donate just £6, we can buy a children's book that could benefit hundreds of children.

Thank you for helping us to change someone's story.
