The Bookmark Box for Ukraine
Campaign by Bookmark (RCN 1177681)
Supporting Ukrainian child refugees to start their next chapter

Story

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians, predominantly women and children, are expected to arrive in the UK through the Homes for Ukraine scheme and need to rebuild their lives. Bookmark is a children's literacy charity and we are supporting them in their urgent appeal to help those children arriving in the UK feel settled with a curated welcome pack. Each pack will contain high-quality, bilingual books, magazines, activities, school packs, tablets pre-loaded with educational and language apps, and eBooks in both English and their home language. 

Our challenge is to pack 500 boxes in a week to send out to the children arriving daily and help  raise enough funds to supply another 10 boxes to help the children get through the trauma they have been through. 

Please sponsor us now so more children feel welcome in the UK.

Prior to lockdown, eight children in an average class in England would leave primary school unable to read well. Bookmark has an incredibly simple vision: we want every child to read. We give children the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life.
