COULD YOU HOST A BOOK MONSTERS EVENT?

Book Monsters invites children and young people of all ages to devour stories and have fun reading while raising much-needed funds for the Children’s Book Project. Whatever reading challenge children set themselves, every word they read makes a difference. Every £5 raised enables us to gift six beautiful books to a child at primary school.

Sign up as a family or as part of your school or community group and take on this monster challenge!

We’d love to hear all about your Book Monsters event, please get in touch to share your plans: fundraising@childrensbookproject.co.uk

YOUR BOOK MONSTERS EVENT

1. Choose a reading challenge
   Invite children to select their Book Monsters challenge from our suggested list below or to design their own goal. It can be whatever they like as long as they are motivated and have fun taking part.
2. Dive into reading
   Support children to immerse themselves in books and stories. Visit your school or local library to broaden their access to new books, or set up a book swap with friends.
3. Gather sponsorship
   Invite children to share their reading goals and fundraising form with friends and family.
4. Celebrate their success
   Share and showcase children’s achievements to maximise their fundraising efforts. Our downloadable Book Monsters certificate can help celebrate every child’s achievement!
