RAISING AWARENESS OF CHILD POVERTY

HUNGRY for
BOOKS “Gift a child a preloved book” The 1 in 5 project aims to raise awareness of child poverty. During Book Week, schools involved are seeking donations of high quality children’s books which pupils will then redistribute to children in need through food banks and other organisations.
1 in 5 children living poverty leave school unable to read well. These children are also less likely to have books in the home and read for pleasure. Help us to address this by donating a high quality preloved children’s book to one of the following 6 school hubs.
