Give a Book is a charity dedicated to promoting books and the pleasure of reading in the hardest places. Our main work is in prisons, schools and with disadvantaged children. We see again and again how reading changes people's lives.

This short film, created in conjunction with Media Trust and funded by The Crucible Foundation, showcases the work of Prison Reading Groups and is based on stories from real-life prisoners. 'We wanted to tell the story of how books offer solace and connection both inside and outside prison. People rarely remember that prisoners are parents too', explained Sarah Turvey, OBE, co-founder of PRG.
