The Big Read

Get sponsored and take part in The Big Read for Children on the Edge and see how many books you can read to help refugee children around the world.

Children on the Edge supports 13,000 refugee children who have fled persecution, conflict or violence, to learn, play and discover how to be children again. Our Big Read is the perfect way to promote a love of reading in your school or organisation and help support Children on the Edge at the same time. 

We have all the resources you need to take part and can offer support every step of the way. ​Every penny you raise adds up to help refugee children in Uganda, Bangladesh and Myanmar to learn, play and thrive.

Just £2 can help a child to learn and play in a safe classroom, for a week.
