I believe that reading
and literacy skills are hugely important and I am keen to promote a
passion for lifelong learning and self development in people of all
ages. The ability to read unlocks so many doors that empower people
to lead successful and fulfilled lives. My mission aims
to enable more children, young people and adults to access quality
books that will spark interest, curiosity and excitement whilst also
developing their individual reading skills.
To raise money for my mission I host a number of fundraising days at
Cromer Parish Hall. Each event boasts local business stalls,
jumble, table top, fundraising games, refreshments, entertainment,
live music and the all important cake!
I aim to provide
£200’s worth of books a month to each beneficiary we support.
If you would like to register an interest in being a beneficiary,
having a stall, becoming a sponsor or you want to find out about being a
volunteer at any of these events, then please fill in this

My Community Book Pledge Mission is a really important part of my
business and something I’m both very passionate about and especially
proud of. It has raised well over £7,000’s worth of books so far
that have been donated to community groups and charities all across
Norfolk and Suffolk making a huge difference to those who have received them.
