Wow, just wow!!!
@AndersenPress have given us a phenomenal gift - 1600 beautiful books by a wonderful array of their authors & illustrators. We'll gift these immediately after half-term to children with very few books of their own.
Thank you so, so much!

Book buying families in Aylesbury & nearby - @SMStadium is running a book collection on our behalf & we couldn't be more grateful!
Drop off any pre-loved children's books over half term & we'll gift them onwards to children with few of their own. @aylesburytc @aylesburyrotary
Following our launch of the @Lonbookproject last week, we're doing really well with your donations, but we would love more! Please drop any children's story books into our 'book bin' on site and they'll be distributed to underprivileged children nationwide! Thanks!

Do you live near to @LilleshallNSC
in Newport, Telford or nearby? This is a great opportunity to sort out your children's books over half term and drop them at the
national sports centre. We will gift them onwards to families with fewer books of their own. 📚🚀🌎 @ChepstowBooks
Today we launch our @Lonbookproject! 📚
The aim is to stop 'book poverty' and allow as many children as possible to own their own books.
Please drop any children's story books into our 'book bin' on site and they'll be distributed to underprivileged children nationwide!

This week saw an exciting trip to Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Queen's Award we won in 2020. It is an award to celebrate everyone that volunteers for us & an extra celebration is planned for this week! @QueensAwardVS @DCMS (ps not a sandwich crust to be seen -we did check!)

It's been 6 long years - and I can't believe I can FINALLY share this photo.
Nazanin is now in the air flying away from 6 years of hell in Iran.
My heart goes out to Gabriella and Richard, as her long journey back home to them gets closer by the minute.

A huge thank you to Miss Braithwaite and the wonderful students at @CundallManor, who have kindly donated this outstanding collection of books to our School Library. We are lost for words. Thank you to @Lonbookproject for making this possible, through their partnership programme.

Thank you @HMPLowdhamG for hosting us yesterday & inviting the men to choose books they could send to each of their children. Their feedback (below) shows just how books can help families to bond and foster shared values. @SercoGroup @HMPAshfield @TheHowardLeague @Storybookdads

We couldn't agree more with @clpe1 about the power of picture books for children of all ages.
Are there any London primaries that would like to receive a special delivery of a picture book for every child? We can do this for five schools. Get in touch!
