Give a Book promotes books and the pleasure of reading in prisons and schools and with disadvantaged children.

It runs Breakfast Book Clubs, providing books for hungry (in many ways) children to read with their breakfast. It sets up libraries in schools without one. In prisons, it runs family reading initiatives and supplies first-nighters on induction wings with books.

During lockdown, Give a Book managed to continue its work in schools and prisons.
