People with the most severe learning disabilities cannot understand even the simplest children’s book - words on a page are meaningless and pictures hold no interest. The multi-sensory stories made by Bag Books use a mixture of pictures, touch, smells, sounds and actions to involve the participant in the story even if they can’t understand the words. Bag Books benefit over 18,000 people each year and are used in over three quarters of all the learning disability Special Schools across the UK. However, all our books are hand made and take an average of 8 hours to construct so we need your help to fund their production.
You can support any UK registered charity, including the University of Edinburgh.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations and you can easily change your nominated charity or the amount you are giving at any time. If your chosen charity is not listed on the online donation form or it is a specific area within the University of Edinburgh, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their name and charity number on the form
