Help us give inspiring books by world-changing authors
to working-class young people this Christmas.
2020 has been a hard year for many - and the young people at RECLAIM have had to work hard to keep up their studies and their campaigning through the pandemic. Many of them have parents who are key workers on the front line. So this Christmas we want to give our young people a special gift of hope and inspiration through inspiring books by change-making authors - and we need your help!
Choose a book today to donate to our #READclaim campaign and we’ll purchase it on your behalf and send it to a young person over the festive period.
RECLAIM is a grassroots charity in Manchester supporting working-class young people to change the country today and lead it tomorrow. Our programmes support young people to lead campaigns and speak out on issues they care about.
This special #READclaim wish list has been put together by the young people at RECLAIM. These are books they believe will be important in their growth as activists, campaigners, and human beings. We’ll buy the books from local independent bookshops using Bookshop.org and get them to our young people over Christmas and New Year. Any additional funds raised will go to support more working-class young people take part in our changemakers and leadership programmes.
We were inspired to launch this campaign by Marcus Rashford who said: ‘Let our children read that they are not alone and enable them to dream’. We hope these books will help our young people dream up a better world and give them the courage to create it. Please choose your book to give & donate now.
Thank you!
