Delighted to see the happy faces in the photos of the children in Kells & Connor Pre-School this week after we donated books to them through our @BookTrustNI partnership which aims to promote a love of reading. We hope they enjoy them! bit.ly/37v4FE8 #CSR #Literacy

Fantastic idea @ChildreninNI
BookTrustNI@BookTrustNI15 Oct 2020
A great competition for children to enter, with book tokens as prizes! Why not ask your child to share their experience of lockdown by writing a letter or drawing a picture?
