Supporting Bookmark

At Ashleigh & Burwood we are proud to partner with Bookmark, as we believe in the power of making a meaningful impact and uniting to address the urgent issue of literacy inequality in England and Wales.

 

 

✨Give the Gift of Reading This Festive Season!✨

Support Bookmark's mission - because every child deserves a future filled with stories and success. 📖🌟

Right now, in England, over 1 in 4 children leave primary school struggling to read, and disadvantaged children are disproportionately affected, with one in five aged 5 to 8 lacking even a single book at home. This festive season, you can change that. By donating to Bookmark or volunteering in their one-to-one reading programme, you can help a child discover the magic of stories and gain the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond. Let’s come together to support the children who need us most. 

💖Donate today and make this holiday a season of new possibilities for every child.

Donation amounts

£2.50 - could gift 5 children a copy of The Story Corner magazine to take home and keep them engaged and excited about reading, even outside of school.

£5 - could gift a child a book, sparking a reading-for-pleasure culture that will last a lifetime.

£10 - could gift one reading sessions, giving a child the individual support they need to build their reading confidence and attainment.

To gift a child the joy of reading this Christmas, simply make your donation via our Just Giving page.

Alternatively, you can donate your time to become a Bookmark reading volunteer. One hour a week can change a child's story.

 

With warm festive wishes and huge thanks from Ashleigh & Burwood and Bookmark Charity🎄
