Our Supporters
Give a Book is an independent charity that relies entirely on the generosity of those who care about giving books. We would like to thank all of the trusts, foundations and organisations that help to promote books and the pleasure of reading in the hardest places. We are especially grateful to the following for their generosity:
Support us with books for Prison Reading Groups, Family Days, Books For First Nighters and Raising Readers.
The Charlotte Aitken Trust is dedicated to the support of literature, writing and reading. It is funded by the estate of the celebrated literary agent Gillon Aitken (1938-2016) in the name of his only daughter Charlotte, who died in 2011 at the age of 27. We are proud to be supported by them.
The Trust have generously supported our family reading initiatives for almost ten years and it has made an enormous difference.
The national prisoners’ newspaper publishes PRG’s regular columns, Finding a Good Read and Reading Group Roundup.
The RSL has generously supplied foreign language books that are needed in many of the prisons we work with. RSL authors also support us by providing resources for Finding a Good Read and by making visits to Prison Reading Groups.
We are honoured and so grateful to be generously supported by the Wob foundation. This means that we can get more books into the hands of those who need them the most helping to foster reading for pleasure environments in every place that we work. To read more about Wob’s new foundation click here.
