FANCY TAKING ON A CHALLENGE?

Taking part in an event is a fantastic, fun and social way to fundraise and raise awareness of the powerful role that book ownership plays in childhood. Every one of our runners, cyclists and swimmers makes a difference to the number of children we can reach and support.

You or your organisation can fundraise on our behalf and there are hundreds of events to choose from! We are Gift Aid registered and have a page on JustGiving to make it easy for you to set up.
