This International Literacy Day we’re proud to be supporting the National Literacy Trust to provide 40 schools in Manchester, Leeds and Bradford with a pack of 30 books to help children with their emotional wellbeing.
And we’re super grateful to all the lovely Bupa employees who’ve written a review to go with each of these books.
You can donate to the National Literacy Trust by texting BUPABOOK to 70450 to donate £5. Texts cost £5 plus one standard rate message and you’ll be opting in to hear more about the Trust’s work and fundraising via telephone and SMS. If you’d like to give £5 but don’t want to receive marketing communications from the National Literacy Trust, text BUPABOOKNOINFO to 70450.
