At Bookmark, we want every child to read, and our work has never been more important. Even prior to school closures, eight children in an average class would leave primary school unable to read well and, during lockdown, 380,000 children were at home without a single book.

12 is an important number to us at Bookmark as there are 12 sessions in our 1:1 reading programmes. Join us for the #12DaysofBookmark and help us raise £6,000 to give 50 children the gift of a six week reading programme in 2021.

You have 12 days, between 12th - 24th December, to complete a fun, socially distanced challenge based around the number 12. Run 12 miles, knit 12 festive scarves, read 12 short stories or come up with a challenge that's entirely your own!

Get your friends and family involved too and help change a childs story in the new year!
