HOW DOES THE PROJECT WORK?
The idea is very simple, we invite people who empathise with the purpose and values of Bedrock, to donate books for worthy causes. We then give those books to different projects, whose recipients can benefit from reading and reflecting on the messages in the books. We encourage organisations to use the books in active and creative ways (such as in reading groups, where reflection and interaction on positive values and identities is encouraged) and to feedback to us any responses to the books.
