Story
Recent research from the National Literacy trust shows that children who read regularly are much more likely to be confident and happy - but children in disadvantaged areas are less likely to have access to books. The Roberts Centre does amazing work supporting families and children in Portsmouth and surrounding areas, and I'd love to help them by helping provide new books for their nursery and contact centres. Giving the gift of reading can make an incredible difference to children in our area, now and for their futures.
For World Book Day, I hope to present the Roberts Centre with a whole stack of new books that they can distribute and use with children in the city, many of whom may not have easy access to books otherwise.
Giving as little as £3 would buy a new book for a child supported by the Roberts Centre. Every little contribution helps, no matter how small. Thank you for your support!

Fantastic project. Books are joyful and every child should be able to own some favourites.

As a local teacher, I am on a mission to make sure that children always have access to books, no matter what thier circumstances. I love working with schools to help them raise money for free books and am so excited to support the Roberts Centre, who do amazing work in our city.
