💜 Thank You, AwesomeBooks! 📚

Oct 7, 2026 | News

We are incredibly grateful to AwesomeBooks – and especially to Sannah Maan, Head of Impact and Giving – for reaching out to RCLC and generously donating a wonderful collection of children’s books for our crèche.

AwesomeBooks is passionate about giving preloved books a new life and making books accessible to everyone. This is something that means a great deal to us. For some of the families we support, buying children’s books can be an additional cost they simply cannot prioritise, so having good-quality books available both at RCLC and at home can make a real difference.

The books are already being enjoyed in our crèche, helping our babies and young children aged 4 months to 4 years explore stories, pictures and words. Reading and sharing books from an early age can support language development, vocabulary, imagination and curiosity – and, importantly, help children develop a lifelong love of reading.

We want that enjoyment to continue at home too, so every child attending our crèche will be given a book as a present at the end of each term to take home and keep as their very own. 📖✨

Sannah Maan, Head of Impact and Giving at AwesomeBooks, said: “Books have the power to not only feed imaginations but also support literacy development and enhance vocabulary. We are thrilled to know that our books will be used in their crèche to create a stimulating environment for their children and then gifted to help nurture a lifelong love of reading.”

As Aisha Malik, CEO of RCLC, said: “For many of our families, books are an important way to encourage language development, curiosity and a love of reading from an early age. This thoughtful gift will have a lasting impact on the children and families we support.”

A huge thank you to Sannah and everyone at AwesomeBooks for your kindness, generosity and belief in our community. 💜📚 As Sannah so beautifully put it: “With a book you are never alone.”
