One in five children in England aged five to eight don’t have access to books at home, and just over half of parents said books are too expensive.9
The Story Corner magazine aims to promote yearround reading, and tackle learning loss during the school holidays, by providing those children who have limited access to books with high-quality reading material.
This year, we expanded our distribution network to support even more children. Our summer issue reached 255 schools, as well as 40 food banks and children’s hospitals. Thanks to our supporters we we're able to donate 107,871 magazines across winter, spring and summer – up from 60,000 in 2020/21.
