Once Upon a Number - book boxes head to schools

Thanks to a partnership between Bookmark Reading Charity and The Richmond Project, more than 300 schools will receive a special 'Once Upon a Number' themed box of carefully selected books. The collection is designed to help children make meaningful connections between stories, numbers and learning.

This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to creating opportunities and improving outcomes for children and schools. By bringing reading and maths together, the initiative aims to nurture curiosity, build confidence and strengthen children’s love of reading across the curriculum.

Projects like this don’t just open doors to stories and numbers — they help transform children’s life chances.
