Book Drop
This year, UK Reads are aiming to distribute 30,000 free books to children across the UK who don’t have access to books of their own.
There are currently more than 413,000 children in the UK who don’t own a single book at home, according to National Literacy Trust research.
UK Reads are on a mission to ensure that every child in the UK has a book of their own which will spark a joy of reading within them.
Any school in the UK can request free books from UK Reads. All of the books are supplied by partner company, Awesome Books who send high quality, pre-loved books to schools to be distributed amongst disadvantaged pupils.
