For every new or renewed subscription we will donate one book to Doorstep Library, 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 their 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 disadvantaged areas of London and beyond to help introduce young children (aged 0-11 years) to the pleasure and benefits of reading.
