FUNDRAISING

World Book Day wants to change lives through a love of books and shared reading. We believe that having access to books and developing a love of reading for pleasure is vital for a child’s future and we want to bring the magic of books to children and young people everywhere.  

Every year, schools, nurseries and families across the country fundraise as part of their World Book Day celebrations. Click here to find out how the funds you raise can help us in our mission to change lives through books and reading.

Reading is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success.

There are lots of ways to get involved. Whether you host a fun reading event at school, hold a sponsored reading challenge or organise your own unique fundraising event, we hope you make fundraising part of your World Book Day celebrations. Every £1 that you raise goes towards giving a child a book of their own, so no fundraising event is too small!  Below you will find easy fundraising ideas and free resources to make your fundraising a big success. 

If you’ve already been busy raising money, it’s simple to donate the funds you’ve raised via our Just Giving pages.

We have JustGiving campaigns for Schools (and all fundraising related to schools) and one for all other fundraising. Please select the schools donations page if your funds have been generated by any school-related activities, or if you are an individual fundraising as part of a school. 

NB If you are a school who fundraised for Book Aid International on World Book Day 2020, please refer to the Book Aid International website for details on how to pay your money in.
