Registered Charity Number 1158197. Doorstep Library is a community-focused charity dedicated to bringing the gift of books and the joy of reading directly into the homes of children across London who need our support. With one in four 11-year-olds leaving primary school unable to read or write properly, we recruit and train home and online-reading volunteers to go into some of the most disadvantag

Doorstep Library started reading with children 15 years ago! Some of those children we read with are now young adults. One of those is Max, now 20, who remembers reading with us when they were just five years old. Hear them reflect on how those reading sessions had an impact on them.

Between now and midday on 16th June, we're raising £60,000 to continue enabling more children to gain access to books in underserved areas of London. To help us continue building the next generation of young readers, you can donate, where your gift will be doubled: https://bit.ly/big-give-26-social
