About us

A child who reads for pleasure is more likely to be happy and successful throughout their lives.

Read for Good wants to give as many children in the UK as possible the opportunity and motivation to develop their own love of reading, benefiting them throughout their lives. Our work in hospitals transforms the experience of being a child in hospital, and our work in schools gets millions of children motivated to read for fun. In addition, we've provided books for millions of children. 

Here you can set up an individual Readathon sponsored read or a Drop Everything and Read event, or any other fundraising idea you've got. 

Please give what you can to support our work - your donation means the world to us and helps us get children reading for fun, which will benefit them throughout their lives.  Thank you.
