We are very proud to support literacy charity, Book Aid International by donating 100% of profits from our physical book sales. As book lovers ourselves, it’s an honour for us to be able to support a charity who promotes literacy. Read our interview with Book Aid International and find out more about their work here.

Book Aid International is the UK’s leading international book donation and library development charity. Every year, the charity aims to ship one million new books to thousands of libraries in communities where people have very few opportunities to access books.
Book Aid International works with an extensive network of libraries, schools, hospitals, NGOs and other partners to ensure that the books it sends reach those who are most in need. In addition, Book Aid International also runs library development projects which build the capacity of libraries to support readers and communities.
