BookTrust’s mission is to help every child in the UK experience the life-changing magic of reading.
Over the past decade, Waterstones has supported BookTrust’s work with families across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This work includes providing book packs for newborn babies, delivering specialist reading programmes for families with toddlers and pre-schoolers and supporting children living in care and those from vulnerable backgrounds.
Waterstones continues to work closely with BookTrust on everything from fundraising to the Waterstones Children’s Laureate, highlighting the importance of reading for pleasure from the earliest possible age and helping transform lives by getting children and families reading.
BookTrust CEO, Diana Gerald says:
“We are so grateful to Waterstones for their continued support and partnership. Together we are helping families across the country to discover the life-changing benefits of reading for pleasure.
We know that children that are read to from an early age have better educational and mental health outcomes than their peers, regardless of their family background. We’re so happy to have such a long-standing and well-matched partnership with the UK’s best-known bookshop and look forward to working together over the coming year!”
