Summer Reading

Join us this June as we celebrate one whole year of Emmie’s Books being a registered charity.

Join us this summer with a Sponsored Read that helps us bring magic and comfort to children undergoing cancer treatment across the UK.
By joining our Sponsored Read, you’re helping us share that magic. Every pound you raise goes directly towards providing books to children in oncology, intensive care, and long-stay wards. These books aren’t just a way to pass the time - they’re a source of comfort, confidence, imagination, and connection for children in some of the most challenging situations imaginable.

Here’s what happens next:
You can download a reading tracker right here:

You can choose to read:
📚 10 minutes a day = 300 minutes in June
📚 20 minutes a day = 600 minutes in June

Read whatever you love - picture books, chapter books, comics, audiobooks, or bedtime stories. You can take part solo, as a family, or with friends. Every page counts.
