Get Britain Reading

There is a reading crisis in the UK and it is impacting everyone. We believe that reading for pleasure can lead to better life outcomes. Research shows that reading for pleasure is more important for children’s cognitive development than their parents’ level of education while reading together or talking about our reading can bind us closer to other people.

Our campaign has three main aims:

• Pledge to read for pleasure for at least 10 minutes a day for six weeks
• Donate to Bookbanks to put books in the hands of those most in need
• Volunteer to read in schools with Coram Beanstalk

Thank you for donating to Bookbanks as part of the Sunday Times Get Britain Reading campaign.

* Your donations will be processed by Charities Trust (registered charity number 327489) who will deduct 4% of all funds raised (including on gift aid) to cover handling and transaction costs.
