Join Us for a Volunteering Taster Session!

We'd love to welcome you to our volunteering taster session on Wednesday 14th October. Whether you can pop in for a few hours or stay for the whole day, we'd be delighted to see you and introduce you to the Children's Book Project.

During term time, we run volunteer book-sorting sessions in London every weekday from 10:00am to 3:00pm during term-time. This taster session is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about our book gifting programme, meet our friendly team, and see first-hand the impact our volunteers make in local communities.

You'll also have the chance to meet and work alongside corporate volunteer groups who spend the day supporting our mission. If you've ever thought about volunteering with us, this is the perfect way to get involved and discover whether it's something you'd enjoy. We hope that after attending a few sessions, you'll choose to become part of our wonderful volunteer community, ideally joining us at least twice a month.

What to Expect

Our group volunteering sessions are fun, welcoming, well-organised, and genuinely meaningful. You'll get hands-on with a variety of activities that directly help children and families access books and develop a love of reading.

We're especially excited to welcome volunteers to our brilliant new home in Park Royal. We have lots of books to prepare and plenty of schools waiting to receive them, so it's an especially busy and exciting time for us.

What skills do I need?

Activities on the day will include:

• Sorting and reviewing donations of pre-loved books
• Categorising and packing books ready for gifting
• Preparing book collections for local schools and families
• Creating celebratory bunting and special touches to accompany donations

We're a friendly, welcoming team and are always looking for individuals and groups who want to make a positive difference in their community. No previous experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.

If you can't make the session on Wednesday 14th October, please get in touch. We'd still love to hear from you, and we have other volunteering opportunities available throughout the week.
