Folkestone Books For Change - RISE UP

We want to make sure our children know the history of struggle, resistance and hard-fought rights. We want to empower every child in our town to know that they can make a difference. We feel the starting point for this is through reading.

We need our school library to stock a diverse range of fiction and non- fiction, picture and fact books that include diverse characters of colour, strong female protagonists and boys that are not afraid to be different. We know for a fact that the school library needs much more of a range so we are asking for donations, so that we can buy and donate books to 19 local primary schools in Folkestone.

Check our Facebook page @FolkestoneBooksForChange for fund -raising events, books lists and where to buy them ethically and locally and which schools we have donated to. If you want to get involved in some other way please make contact via folkestonebooksforchange@gmail.com. To find out how this campaign has developed please visit www.booksforchange.co.uk

We believe in the power of our children, change can happen.

Thank you for your donation.
