Hi, I’m Natalia, an Independent Usborne Books Partner.

Across our local communities, more and more families are facing financial hardship. Many are struggling to provide their children with the resources, opportunities, and simple joys they deserve. With World Book Day approaching in just a few months, my team and I have decided to launch a fundraising campaign with a meaningful goal: to support local foodbanks by providing children with high-quality books.

Books open doors, spark imaginations, and give children comfort and confidence - especially during tough times. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes a difference:

£5 can provide a child with a brand-new book

£10 can support a pair of siblings

£20 can gift a small book collection to a family

We will be running this campaign until the end of February, and we hope to raise £500 to support foodbanks across Exeter and Cranbrook.

If you can spare even a few pennies, it would mean the world. And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this campaign helps just as much by spreading the word and growing our impact.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and generosity. Together we can make World Book Day brighter for local children who need it most.
