► READ

READ Book Project of Huddersfield collect disused, high-quality Key Stage 3 and GCSE textbooks from UK secondary schools. Our student volunteers give presentations to schools pupils to promote student volunteering, young social enterprise, recycling and global citizenship.

To date, READ Book Projects accross the country have donated 148,000 textbooks to 140 Tanzanian secondary schools and five regional libraries. The books will be used in the daily education of children working towards their Key Stage 3 and GCSE equivalent exams.

READ International believes in opening young people's minds and encouraging them to become global citizens. We believe that an informed global community will find solutions to world issues
