Doorstep Library is a community-focused charity dedicated to bringing the gift of books and the joy of reading directly into the homes of children across London who need our support.
With one in four 11-year-olds leaving primary school unable to read or write properly, it recruits and trains home and online reading volunteers to go into some of the most disadvantaged areas in London to help introduce young children (aged 0-11 years) to the pleasure of reading.
For Doorstep Library, the ‘happy ever after’ is when they know the power of literacy and the joy of reading are helping a child change their own story for good.
The Firefly Project will support aims to be reading to more than 1000 children across London and build up their volunteer base to 240 dedicated volunteers.
