Books for Communities

"Castellum, as luxury construction specialists, is super proud to champion this book because we believe that building a better future starts with educating the next generation. Our commitment to quality craftsmenship goes hand in hand with our dedication to environmentally responsible building practices. By supporting this initiative, we hope to help inspire young minds to value the importance of caring for our planet – just as we strive to restore and refurbish beautiful old historical buildings and create new homes that are both stunning and sustainable. Supporting this book’s accessibility is a meaningful way to plant the seeds of environmental awareness early on, helping children understand that thoughtful choices, whether in building or in daily life, can make a lasting impact."

"At Reads Business Brokers, we specialise in selling care and recruitment businesses across the UK. Our work connects us daily with people who are passionate about service, community, and making a difference to the lives of others, which is why we were so pleased to support this fantastic initiative from Eco-Able. Helping to donate sustainable children's books to local libraries aligns perfectly with the values we see in so many of the business owners we work with. "We love the simplicity and impact of this idea. In a world dominated by screens, there’s something incredibly valuable about children picking up a real book with real pages. Stories can open minds, fuel curiosity, and plant the seeds of empathy and responsibility, especially when the message is rooted in sustainability. The fact that a single set of donated books can be borrowed hundreds of times and reach families across the UK is so powerful. We're delighted to play a small part in helping stories like "Away" find young readers who will love this wonderful book."

"Dani Seatter’s children’s books are a joy—uplifting, empowering, and exactly the kind of stories we need more of in the world. I’m thrilled to support her campaign by donating five books to West Glamorgan, the county where I grew up. It feels like a small but meaningful way to give back to my roots and share something truly special with the next generation. At Cotswold Networking, we’re all about real conversations, genuine connections, and supporting local talent. With seven fantastic networking groups hosted in stunning venues across the Cotswolds, Bristol, and Bath, we bring people together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere—no awkward pitches, just meaningful networking that works. Whether it’s around the table at one of our evening events or through brilliant initiatives like this one, we believe in the power of community and people coming together to make a difference."

"We are a eco-friendly builders merchant selling natural and sustainable building materials to make home perform better so this book and the ethos of it making everything natural and sustainable matches the ethos of our company and brand so it seems like the perfect way to help boost and spread the message that we need to look after our planet and our natural resources and more needs to be done to highlight these issues and push people to do the right things even though they are not always the easiest or cheapest options so we still have a world to pass down to our children."

"As COO of Club OCHO, I believe strongly in the power of education, culture, and community. Supporting the Books for Libraries campaign aligns perfectly with my personal values and our club’s mission to enrich lives through access to arts and knowledge. By donating sustainable, purpose-driven books to libraries across the UK, we’re helping to foster a love of reading, support childhood literacy, and ensure that all children—regardless of background—can access high-quality, meaningful literature. I’m proud to champion such an initiative, that was proposed by our Chairman of the Board Arthur Jupp, as not only for its educational impact but also for its commitment to sustainability and community engagement. At Club OCHO, our ethos centres around cultural enrichment, social responsibility, and supporting the next generation. We are proud to partner with the Books for Libraries campaign, donating book packs to libraries nationwide. This initiative reflects our dedication to making the arts and education accessible to all, while also honouring our commitment to sustainability—every book is produced with eco-friendly materials and practices. By supporting this campaign, we hope to inspire a lifelong love of reading, empower young minds, and give back to communities throughout the UK. We encourage our members and partners to join us in making a meaningful difference.”

"At Howden, we believe in the power of community, education, and sustainability. That’s why we’re proud to support the Books for Libraries campaign—a meaningful initiative that brings the award-winning storybook ‘Away’ to libraries across the UK. As a company rooted in people-first values, we understand that access to inspiring, educational resources can make a lasting difference. ‘Away’ is more than just a beautifully illustrated children’s book—it’s a gateway to conversations about sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the importance of caring for our planet. By supporting this campaign, we’re helping to ensure that children and families—regardless of background—can enjoy this story and learn together. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve and investing in a more sustainable future. We encourage other businesses to join us in this effort. Together, we can put more books into more hands and help shape a generation that values both storytelling and sustainability."

"At Burford Creative, we believe that business should be about more than just delivering results it should also create meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

With over 18 years of experience across sectors including luxury travel and hospitality, Gemma has shaped an agency that values people as much as performance. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a big part in how we work. Over the years, we’ve supported a number of important causes including National Star, a charity empowering young people with complex disabilities. Our team has proudly taken part in ‘Wear Green Day’, team member Sam Kinch completed a sponsored wing walk, and we’ve introduced National Star to our clients to help expand their network of sponsors and supporters. We believe in supporting local initiatives that promote education and sustainability. Donating a pack of five books to a local library through Eco-Able aligns with our commitment to giving back to the community and fostering awareness of environmental issues. As a business rooted in the Cotswolds, we are proud to contribute in ways that inspire young people to learn, grow, and engage with important causes. “It’s always a privilege to support organisations like Eco-Able. Books can open minds and spark meaningful change and that’s something we’re proud to get behind.” – Gemma Finch. Giving back is part of who we are, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support organisations like Eco-Able who are making a real difference."

We believe it's crucial to equip the next generation with the knowledge and inspiration to understand critical environmental issues and empower communities to make a positive impact."

"We’re delighted to support Dani and her incredible work with Gloucestershire Bundles by funding a bundle of five children’s Christmas books. At Cotswold Collective, our mission is rooted in supporting local, so contributing to an organisation that provides such vital help to families across Gloucestershire reflects exactly what we stand for as a business. Dani’s dedication to children and parents is truly inspiring and we’re proud to play a small part in this wonderful initiative.”

“At Jackson-Stops Cheltenham we are proud to support Dani’s Christmas book campaign, which puts books directly into the hands of children who may not otherwise have any of their own. The impact that early reading and book ownership can have on confidence, wellbeing and long-term educational outcomes is extraordinary, and this initiative is a simple but powerful way of making a real difference to families in Gloucestershire at a time of year when it matters most. We are delighted to play a small part in helping more children discover the joy of reading this Christmas.”

"I’m really proud to be supporting Dani Seatter’s Christmas Book Campaign, an initiative that donates eco-friendly children’s books to families who could use a little extra support this season. Dani’s stories are created with care — printed sustainably and written with warmth — and they offer children comfort, imagination and hope at a time of year when that matters more than ever. It’s a joy to help bring these books into the hands of families who may otherwise go without. Every book gifted is a moment of magic shared." 🎄💚📚

"The Property Forum is delighted to support this wonderful campaign to support the Gloucestershire Bundles Charity this festive season. Thank you to George and Dani for organising the Book Pack campaign and giving the joy of reading to families in crisis this Christmas."

"I love books, I’m a firm believer in book ownership and the importance of children having agency in making decisions about the kinds of books they enjoy. Having access to and ownership of good quality books can have a lasting impact on children of any age and I hope that through our partnership with the Children’s Book Project we can support many more children to enjoy books and develop a lifelong love of reading.”

“I’m delighted to support the Children’s Book Project. Every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of reading, and this initiative plays a vital role in making that possible. By helping put books directly into the hands of children who might otherwise go without, we’re giving them the chance to imagine, explore and learn in ways that can shape their future. I’m proud that we can contribute to such meaningful and impactful work.”
