Little Greenwich Books is a new community organisation in
south-east London. Our aim is to inspire a love of reading by gifting books to young children (0–5) who need our support.
Research has shown that book ownership can have a significant
impact on life outcomes. Children with books of their own are more likely to engage
with and enjoy reading, develop stronger literacy skills and go on to have a greater
chance of success at school, work and life in general.
Engaging children with books at the earliest age can help to
change their life story and contribute to a brighter future. We want to share
the joy of reading and all of the associated benefits with as many children
as possible.

Children and young people's book ownership in 2021: The impact of book gifting on children and young people's reading engagement
We're now inviting donations of good quality pre-loved baby, toddler and pre-school books to pack into gift bags and donate via local food banks.
Help a child discover the magic of books and explore the world through reading.
Just one book can make a difference.
