Donate books

Give your books another chapter.

The textbooks your child finished in March are the textbooks another child needs in June.

Offer your books

Tell us roughly what you have. We will call to confirm before anyone travels anywhere.

So we can send you a confirmation.

What do you have?

Tick everything that applies.

What condition are they in?
Would you like us to collect them?

Subjects, classes, language, or the best time to call.

We never share your contact details with anyone else.

    Usually within two working days, to confirm and to arrange a time.

  3. Step 3

    Collection or drop-off

    We collect where there is enough to be worth the trip; otherwise you can bring them to us.

    Sorting and checking

    Every book is checked before it goes to a child. Anything unusable is recycled responsibly, not passed on.

Questions about donating books

01What kind of books can I donate?
School textbooks and workbooks, story books for any age, reference books, dictionaries and atlases, and competitive exam material. Children's stationery, toys and games are welcome too.
02What can't you use?
Books that are badly damaged, missing pages, water-affected, or from a syllabus that has since been replaced. We would rather tell you that now than have you carry them across town.
03Will you collect from my home?
Where there is enough to be worth a trip and you are within our reach, yes. Tell us roughly how many books there are and where you are, and we will confirm.
