Chigwell Pupils Donate 2,000 Books to Charity

When celebrating World Book Day earlier this month, pupils donated over 2,000 children’s books in support of the London Children’s Book Project. The charity seeks to tackle book poverty in London by gifting books to families with few, if any, books at home. A sincere thank you goes to everyone who donated books to this worthy cause and it was lovely to see personal notes inside some of the books conveying enthusiasm for the story. Books by Roald Dahl and David Walliams filled a few boxes on their own! The charity was exceedingly grateful for Chigwell’s donation and we hope that we might be able to run similar book drives in future years.
