If I was in charge, I'd declare this A YEAR OF READING FOR PLEASURE. Forget about tests & exams. Let kids discover the joy of reading for the fun of it, losing yourself in the infinite worlds of the imagination. Once you read for pleasure, everything else will follow! #literacy
Help us bridge the rising education gap by supporting children living in London’s most deprived communities with essential literacy skills. This week we're taking part in the @BigGive campaign when every £1 you donate will be doubled. Donate now: https://t.co/iNo7u3khnR
Frightened, hungry and nothing to do? 4 in 10 children in London live in households in poverty. Help us to bring the magic and benefits of reading to those children most in need. This week every £1 you give will be matched through the @BigGive. Donate now: https://t.co/iNo7u3khnR
It's here! The @BigGive Champions for Children campaign is now open. For this week only every £1 you donate will be doubled. Help us keep London's most isolated children reading and learning. Please give what you can now: https://t.co/iNo7u3khnR #WordsTakeYouPlaces

'It really is impossible for a child to become a reader for the joy of it if their parents or carers can’t afford books, they don’t go to a public library, and their primary school hasn’t got a library'.
Never have truer words been spoken 👏

This may be one of the nicest things a child has said about our work as well as a great indicator of the impact our visits have on the children we visit. Help us continue to deliver our crucial work to even more children by clicking here- https://t.co/nUrbCfxkR7 #ThursdayThoughts
Some #TuesdayMotivation from one of the children we read with on #WhiteCity. We're over the moon that, thanks to visits from our #volunteers they have helped to increase their enjoyment of reading so much that they even read in the toilet!
We have so many families across our projects who would really benefit from having Doorstep Library visits. Could you help us change a child's future through the power of books? Email [email protected] to find out more. #VolunteersWeek Let #WordsTakeYouPlaces.
@BookshelfReader What a fantastic blog! I'll be sharing your recommendations with everyone @DoorstepLib (we have lots of fellow Hufflepuffs here). Looking forward to reading more!😊
