We’re passionate about getting books to children, and trying to support the community in the best way that we can. We do this through supplying World Book Days to schools, and offering World Book Day token redemption (we are not reimbursed for World Book Day tokens, so this is a gift from the bookshop to the reader), periodically offering a free book box, as well as occasionally donating proceeds of book sales to charities and donating books to schools.
Much as we may wish to support everyone, it is simply not possible for us as a small, independent business to donate raffle prizes to every organisation. We therefore prioritise schools and organisations with whom we have an existing relationship.
If would like to get in touch, please email hello@wonderlandbookshop.co.uk with more details of your cause. Please do not pop into the shop, as it can be difficult to consider requests when we are working.
We are currently unable to donate any further prizes for the 2024-2025 school academic year. Please check back in September 2025.
