Read for Good provides books and stories to children in hospital and to schools who really need them. We run programmes to encourage children to love reading, and provide new books and storyteller visits to 30 UK children’s hospitals. To see our brilliant work go to www.readforgood.org.

Story

Decide what you want to read - anything goes - comics, blogs, listening to books all count. Ask an adult to set up your BIG HOLIDAY READ fundraising page here. When you set up your page, in "Your Story" list what you are going to read, or the amount of time you will read. How many minutes, pages or books can you read in a week, two weeks, a month or the whole summer? Ask friends and family to sponsor you per book, per page, per ten minutes, whatever works for you. Click on the orange Start Fundraising button to set up your page or just donate what you collect in one go here (click on the pink Donate button). EVERY £10 YOU RAISE HELPS 12 CHILDREN IN HOSPITAL GET THE BEST NEW BOOKS TO READ.

Why not pop to your local library and run it alongside the Summer Reading Challenge?  Get reading and raising!

Remember to stay safe on-line. Only ask friends and family to sponsor you and don't share personal information or photos.

Thanks to our partner Scholastic Book Clubs for supporting this campaign.
