BookTrust is the UK\u2019s largest children\u2019s reading charity. Each year we reach over 1.4 million children and families across England,\u202fWales\u202fand Northern Ireland,\u00a0delivering evidence-informed programmes that make a measurable difference to children\u2019s reading behaviours.<\/p>\n

Our work is rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to enjoy reading and all the lifelong benefits it brings. Children who read regularly are happier and healthier, they form stronger bonds, they are more creative and enjoy more success in life.<\/p>\n

BookTrust\u2019s most recent strategy, \u201dReading for a brighter future\u201d, sets out our mission – to get children from low-income households and vulnerable family backgrounds reading regularly and by choice. What we do has never\u202fmattered more; or been more needed.<\/p>\n

We deliver our mission through evidence-based interventions, with a strong focus on children in the early years and their families. Our carefully selected books and well-researched programmes are delivered by a network of over 30,000 local partners, bringing the magic of reading to children\u202fin every\u202fcommunity in England,\u202fWales\u202fand Northern Ireland. We work with every local\u202fauthority across\u202fEngland and Wales, as well as health visitors, schools, libraries, social\u202fworkers\u202fand\u202fearly years\u202fworkers. We also have an excellent and increasingly diverse community of children\u2019s\u202fauthors and\u202fillustrators and\u202fcommitted and expert support from publishers.<\/p>\n

Everyone at BookTrust is committed to our mission, and passionate about the real difference that shared reading from the earliest days can make. We are a genuinely family\/life-friendly organisation, offering a caring workplace\u202fwith supportive and expert colleagues.<\/p>\n
