Support Us

There are many ways to support the Children’s BookFest from individual donations and sponsorship to volunteering.

Support the BookFest

It is our mission to ensure that every child we reach will receive a new book signed by the author. Children’s BookFest is a charity which relies on the generosity of all its supporters to raise 100% of its annual costs.

A small gift can make a huge difference to the Children’s BookFest, the benefits to our children and grandchildren are wide-ranging. It is our aim this year to reach 6000 children and young people across Chichester and Bognor.

Donations

Every penny donated to the Children’s BookFest gets us closer to our aim of providing every child in West Sussex with their very own book. For as little as £5 you can help guarantee a child will have the opportunity to be inspired and get reading.

“1 in 15 children and young people aged 8 to 18 do not have a book of their own at home.

Children who say they have a book of their own are six times more likely to read above the level expected for their age than their peers who don’t own a book.”
