Over the years BookReliefUK has supported literacy both home and abroad. Much of this is local to North Devon. Over the past two years we have donated £11,250 

 

Read Easy are an outreach charity seeking to promote adult literacy. On their website you can volunteer to be a reading coach and find out more about what is being done in North Devon. We have donated £1400 to them in the last two years.

 

We help support The Shannon Trust which directs literacy projects at prisoners in particular. Last year we were able to donate £1000 and will do again this year.

 

We have given £1500 to two overseas charities: Books 2 Africa, and Empower the Gambia, which maintains a number of school libraries in that country.

We also work with Bideford food bank giving free books to families who use the bank.
