How do I get free books for my child?

Our charity currently funds books for under-5s living in the areas around Canterbury Nursery School and Children's Centre (parts of BD5 and parts of BD7) and the whole Manningham ward, plus some extra streets in the Midland Road Nursery School area.

Check here using your postcode to see whether you live in the right area . You can register your child online, too. BE SURE YOU CLICK ON 'UNITED KINGDOM'.

THE FIRST BOOK WILL ARRIVE IN 6 TO 8 WEEKS, AND THEN EVERY MONTH AFTER.
