BookTrust Pyjamarama

In June, BookTrust is running an event called Pyjamarama which aims to inspire a love of reading in children by encouraging them (and their parents, teachers and other adults) to wear pyjamas for the day and donate £1 to support BookTrust.

Members of staff from schools and nurseries across the UK can sign their organisation up and receive a free Pyjamarama fundraising pack. The pack which can be found here, includes: posters, stickers, a booklet of tips and ideas for the event, themed activity sheets tailored for every age group, balloons “to brighten up classrooms and story corners,” and a paying-in slip and pre-paid envelope for donations.

The £1 will help BookTrust continue their work as a charity to help more children gain access to books and the joy and happiness that comes with reading; you can find out more about the BookTrust and the work they do here.

So, on 7^th of June why not roll out of bed in your spotted pyjamas like Matilda’s and Tracy Beaker’s, your striped pyjamas like Horrid Henry’s, or even a Gruffalo onesie, and head to school or work to inspire a new generation of readers?
