Expenditure at 30 June
2025
London Discovery Programme:
Our flagship Discovery Programme supported 120 primary schools all with >40% pupil premium in London during 2024-2025,
gifting each a termly donation of carefully curated books and accompanying resources to support three high impact gifting
events across the school year. Participating schools receive the equivalent of two books per child per term so that by the end
of the year every pupil had the chance to choose and take home six books of their own.
Share a Story Prisons Programme:
Our prison programme seeks to provide every prisoner with the means to connect, reconnect and build bridges with the
children and young people in their family through the powerful medium of stories, illustrations, and imagination. Using regular
gifts of carefully chosen beautiful new books to bridge the gap between a child and their parent in prison, the programme
supported 28 prisons in 2024-2025 and was a valuable strand of every prison's Family and Significant Others strategy.
Pop Up Bookshops in cities nationwide including Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London and Nottingham
250 eligible primary schools with >40% pupil premium each received two books per child plus the resources to put on a Pop
Up Bookshop gifting event for their pupils this year. These events are designed to give children the autonomy, skills and
confidence to browse for and choose books of their own to take home, share and keep.
