Give what you can as a one-off or monthly donation to keep children reading in lockdown.

In the last lockdown, children turned to reading to take them on adventures beyond their homes. For the 1 in 8 children who have no books at home Doorstep Library was there to provide online story sessions, send books and offer support to parents.

We want to keep children reading as they face further schools closure. Not all children have the technology, space or support to continue learning independently. Reading for pleasure is proven to improve children’s wellbeing and have long-lasting impact on their educational attainment.
