Doorstep Library brings books and the magic of reading directly to the homes of children in some of London's most disadvantaged areas. Direct into their homes, volunteers read with the children, lend them books, befriend the families and offer support. As a charity we're unique in this.

Our work improves not just reading skills, but confidence, self-esteem, articulacy, social integration, academic performance and even long-term employment prospects. Words have the power to take children places, not just in their minds, but in their lives.
