Fundraiser in memory of Martin & his love of books to help the 1 in 4 children in England leave primary school unable to read well. Disadvantaged children leaving primary school on average a year behind their peers. One in eight children aged 5-8 in the UK don’t own a book of their own at home.

Bookmark improves children’s literacy through 1-1 reading support and promoting a reading for pleasure culture in disadvantaged primary schools across the UK. This is a cause close to Martin, you rarely saw him without a book or three in his hands.
