Wow – our recent Readathon raised £696 for Read for Good. This is a wonderful achievement having raised money for children who need books in the hospital. For children in hospital, books and stories are particularly important – they comfort, distract, reassure and entertain, while also supporting disrupted learning. Read for Good provides a regular supply of brand new books along with storyteller visits to brighten up the days of children in all of the UK’s main children’s hospitals. Children unable to leave their beds can choose books from our specially designed mobile bookcase which wheels right up to their bedside. Because they are brand new, the books are safe for those at high risk of infection. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children and a huge well done for every child who read more than usual during our Readathon week. We will be celebrating these children in our Celebration Assembly.
