Doorstep Library is a non-profit , community led organisation dedicated to bringing the gift of books and the joy of reading directly into the homes of children across London.
Sadly, 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read or write properly. Doorstep Library recruit and train volunteers to go into some of the most disadvantaged areas in London to help introduce young children (aged 0-11 years) to the pleasure of reading!
At present, Doorstep Library visit almost 600 children from 300 families each week both in person and virtually. Doorstep Library also lent more than 20,000 books to families in 2019 alone!
The money from The 12 Books community will help Doorstep Library to continue their incredible work helping children and their families to read together.
