Wood St Mission Books Forever appeal

We are pleased to share that Bridgewater School is supporting Wood St Mission’s Books Forever appeal. This wonderful initiative aims to provide brand new or good-as-new reading books (both fiction and non-fiction) to children and families in need. By donating, we can help ensure that all children have the opportunity to develop a love of reading, improve their literacy skills and be inspired by the stories and knowledge found within books.

The charity says: “Our Books Forever project helps transform the lives of local children through reading. Books change lives – they can inspire, encourage imagination and creativity, and help improve reading skills. We want to ensure that children can access books even when their families may be struggling. The books donated are distributed through our Family Basics project and through our school Books Roadshow.”

We invite all Senior School students and families to participate in this appeal by donating books in excellent condition. Donations can be made from now until the deadline of 6th May 2025.

As a thank you, we will be awarding House Points for every book donated. Students can hand their books to their form teacher or drop them off at school reception (please include a note with the student’s name when making a donation).

We hope you will join us in supporting this fantastic cause. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping to make a difference in the lives of children through the power of reading.

As a family focused school, championing and supporting others lies at the heart of everything we do.
