Give the Gift of Stories: Join the That's Christmas "Buy a Child Books for Christmas" Campaign

The Christmas season is upon us—a time of joy, warmth, and giving. 

But for many children, the festive cheer doesn’t include a pile of books to spark their imagination and fuel their dreams. 

This year, That's Christmas is stepping up to make a difference with its "Buy a Child Books for Christmas" campaign, and we’re inviting you to be a part of it.

Why Books Matter More Than Ever

In an increasingly digital world, the simple act of holding a book, turning its pages, and getting lost in its story is more vital than ever. 

Books inspire creativity, build empathy, and improve literacy skills, opening doors to opportunities that every child deserves. For many families, however, tight budgets mean books are a luxury they simply cannot afford.

This campaign aims to ensure that no child misses out on the magic of books, whether it’s a fairy tale that whisks them away to enchanted lands or a science book that answers their burning questions about the world around them.

How the Campaign Works

That’s Christmas is inviting our readers to buy books for their own children and for children in the wider community. 

Here’s how you can help:

Donate: A small contribution can go a long way. Just £5 can buy a paperback book, while £20 can provide a child with a bundle of stories to treasure.

Spread the Word: Share the campaign on social media using the hashtag #BooksForChristmas to encourage others to join the cause.

What Your Contribution Means

Every book you help provide is a step toward creating lifelong readers and learners. Imagine the delight on a child’s face as they unwrap their very first book on Christmas morning, or the pride of a parent who can share bedtime stories thanks to your generosity.

A Gift That Lasts a Lifetime

Books are more than presents; they’re portals to adventure, knowledge, and self-discovery. By supporting the That’s Christmas campaign, you’re not just giving a child a book; you’re giving them a gift that will last long after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.

Get Involved Today

Together, let’s bring the gift of reading to as many children as possible this Christmas.

This Christmas season, let’s turn the page on inequality and write a story of hope and joy. Join the That's Christmas "Buy a Child Books for Christmas" campaign—because every child deserves a story.
