How You Can Help

 
     
 

Donate

You can help us give the Gift of Reading to more than 1000 local children each year

  • Just £5 will buy a child a book to keep for ever
  • £15 will buy a child a book a term for a whole year
  • £375 will buy books for a whole class of children for a year

If you are a local business just think what 1% of your profits would do to help improve literacy of the young needy people of Woking. They are your future employees! In the UK’s most deprived communities up to 60% of 11-year olds fail to reach basic standards in reading and writing.

Every single penny donated is spent on purchasing books for children!

Please help us if you can - click here to donate.
