Supporting reading for everyone
We believe that everyone should have access to the books they want and need, and we're committed to encouraging and supporting reading for pleasure. That's why we work with reading and literacy charities and organisations, literary awards and national prizes, as well as supporting high street bookshops across the UK and Ireland.

World Book Day
We've been proud sponsors of the charity that changes lives through a love of books and reading for more than 25 years, helping millions of children choose a book for free – often the first book of their own.
How our sponsorship helps
Read for Good
We support Read for Good, a national charity with the mission to encourage all children in the UK to read for fun – because reading for pleasure is nothing short of life-changing.
Motivating reading
Book Aid International
Every purchase of our Book Aid International Book Token helps the charity share the power of books with people around the world who would otherwise have few books, or even no books at all.

We partner with the Jhalak Prize and the Jhalak Children's & Young Adult Prize to bring the best books by writers of colour to more bookshops across the UK and Ireland.

High street bookshops
Every time you buy or spend a National Book Token, you're helping to keep bookshops on our high streets. We work hard to support these heroes of our local communities all year round.
We love bookshops
