Our leading employee involvement scheme is ‘Bring a Book to Work Week’. Running since 2003, Bring a Book to Work Week aims to promote reading to employees of UK companies whilst raising funds to send high quality books to people in the developing world. Bring a Book to Work Week encourages employees across the country to hold second-hand book sales to raise money and make a lasting difference to readers across Africa.
By taking part in Bring a Book to Work Week, your employees can clear out their bookshelves, pick up a bargain, and change someone’s life…all in their lunch hour! For every book ‘sold’ and matched by your company we are able to send one brand new book to Africa.
‘Books are an important resource that we often take for granted in the UK. We all have books that we no longer read, rather than let them gather dust, why not donate them to Book Aid International and give a gift of knowledge to those less fortunate overseas?’ Peter Bull, Manager, HSBC in the Community.
