Sponsor a school: invest in children's literacy
Make a tangible difference in a local school by sponsoring StoryCycle book packs. Your support provides essential reading resources, fostering a love for books and learning in young minds.
Why sponsor a school?
Sponsoring a StoryCycle book pack offers businesses, organisations, and individuals a clear and visible way to support children’s literacy in a local school. Your funding helps provide fresh, age-appropriate books that children can use throughout the term, including fiction, non-fiction, phonics, science, and reading-for-pleasure titles. This gives pupils more choice, helps teachers refresh classroom resources, and supports children who may have limited access to books elsewhere.
Tangible impact
See exactly which school or year group you have supported, how many books your funding has helped provide, and how many children those books are expected to reach.
Community & sustainability
Demonstrate a practical commitment to education, the local community, and sustainability by reusing books and keeping them in circulation for longer.
Diverse book access
Your sponsorship provides a wide range of books across various genres and subjects, enriching classroom resources and expanding children's access to literature.
Who can sponsor a school?
StoryCycle welcomes sponsorship from local businesses, individuals, charities, and larger companies who want to make a real difference.
Local businesses
Our ideal early sponsors are local businesses with a strong connection to the community, such as estate agents, law firms, accountancy practices, retailers, banks, construction companies, or professional-services firms. These organisations can sponsor a nearby school and see a direct, visible local impact.
Companies & organisations
We welcome support from larger companies with education, community, ESG, or sustainability goals. A larger sponsor could fund multiple schools, an entire year group, or a regional StoryCycle programme. We focus on clear, measurable impact, showing which school you supported, how many books were provided, which year groups benefited, and how many children the packs reached.
