What we do
The Children’s Book Project is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1183092, incorporated on
24th April 2019.
Our object is to advance education of children up to age 14 by supplying books to those that would not
otherwise be able to afford them, and by creating sustainable reading communities amongst targeted
groups through the provision of regular inclusive book gifting events.
Also to advance public education about environmental matters related to re-use & recycling of pre-loved
children's books.
Objects & activities
We receive new and gently used books from publishers and
from book buying families donated via 'book drive' events held in
schools and other settings and at specified drop off points.
All donated books are checked for quality and relevance to
ensure their suitability and then curated by age and reading
stage (for children aged 0-14 years).
Liaison with targeted schools and community groups enables us
to establish the book and reading related needs of the families
and young people they support and for us to directly support
these with donations of good quality, relevant books and the
resources to put on book gifting events.
Our books are accompanied by
unique and child-led creative delivery
mechanics that support organisations
to gift books in the most compelling
way(s).
These include our BookSparks cards,
Book Huts, Pop Up Bookshops, Book
Bundles, packs for gifting to mothers
with under 1s & Book Bags to support
gifting amongst refugee families.
These include initiatives in conjunction with groups that support
vulnerable mothers of babies under one-year, young people in
reform institutions, food bank users and (indirectly) children with
a parent in prison.
