We've been proud sponsors of World Book Day for more than 25 years, and are supporters of the charities Read for Good and Book Aid International, helping them to encourage reading for pleasure, and bringing books to children and adults who need them the most. Our partnership with The Jhalak Prize, which celebrates books by writers of colour, helps to connect readers with diverse voices through their local bookshops.
