What are the benefits accrued from Booktrust being an independent charity?

Booktrust is an independent charity with an extensive track record in developing and managing book gifting programmes.

• Booktrust is able to ensure that the books are independently selected by appropriate experts in the field of children's books.
• Booked Up participants can be confident that the programme is non-commercial and coordinated by a charity whose key remit is that of encouraging people of all ages and cultures to discover and enjoy reading.
• Booktrust is able to support the Booked Up programme with promotional materials and add-on activities, and is uniquely placed to offer further reading ideas and to help children continue on their reading journeys after they receive their free books.
• Booktrust offers extensive advice and information online, catering for all ages, interests and needs.
• Booktrust is also positioned at the heart of the book world and as such can support the programme through links to other relevant projects, organisations and resources.
