12 Days of Bookmark
Campaign by Bookmark (RCN 1177681)
You have 12 days, between 12th - 24th December, to complete a fun, socially distanced challenge based around the number 12. Run 12 miles, knit 12 festive scarves, read 12 short stories or come up with a challenge that's entirely your own!

Story

On 24th December 2020 the water temperature in Weymouth will be 12 degrees. I will spend 1 second in water for every £1 raised. This is an utterly amazing charity so I think it's worth it but never before have I hoped not to raise too much... brrrrrrrr!!

At Bookmark, we want every child to read. Even prior to school closures, eight children in an average class would leave primary school unable to read well and, during lockdown, 380,000 children were at home without a single book.

Please sponsor me to raise funds for our charity to deliver more reading programmes to children in 2021!

Here's the difference your donation could make:

£10 - Gift a child with a 1:1 Bookmark reading session

£25 - Give a Bookmark magazine to 50 children to inspire reading at home

£50 - Give a Bookmark magazine to 100 children to inspire reading at home

£120 - Gift a child with a six week 1:1 Bookmark reading programme
