That\u2019s the incredible number of pre-loved children\u2019s books Cannock &amp; District Soroptimists have been able to deliver to Beverley Ricketts and Rotary Books4Home.<\/p>\n<p>Cannock Soroptimists have been collecting books since mid 2020 and up to April 2023 had collected and donated over 14,000 \u2013 which means that in the 12 months since May 1<sup>st<\/sup> 2023 a further 15,000 plus have been donated!\u00a0 That is truly amazing!\u00a0 The 30,000 milestone has been passed with the current total of books donated being 30,193.<\/p>\n<p>This incredible number is due to the generosity and kindness of numerous families within the Cannock Chase \u2013 and wider \u2013 area. Our community campaigns have gained momentum over the last couple of years and groups and individuals have continued to support us.\u00a0 Children who donate love the idea that a book they have loved will now be enjoyed by another child \u2013 and they also love the recycling aspect of the project.\u00a0 Not only do we provide other children with books, we also save books from going to landfill or from being pulped!<\/p>\n<p>Rotary Books4Home provides pre-loved books to children who otherwise would not own a book of their own \u2013 something that a lot of us can\u2019t imagine. With the continuing difficulties families face when managing their finances, books for the children can be a luxury they cannot afford. \u00a0We have yet to find a child who does not want to have a book of their very own!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all children, parents, grandparents, schools, companies and businesses who have made this possible \u2013 you have done something wonderful &#8211; you have made a difference to many children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo below: 1.
