BookTastic met with the team in Barrow to discuss building a BookTastic in their area
BookTastic supported the team in Barrow to identify local partners and establish their budget for Year 1. We supported them in building a funding strategy and submitting grant applications, helping them to establish a strong base for future years.
BookTastic liaised with national publishers, authors and illustrators, building a festival programme for Barrow that was voted for by participating children.
BookTastic Barrow delivered their first festival, bringing 5 world-class authors to their town, reaching nearly 2,000 children, distributing nearly 2,000 free books
The team wins the area’s prestigious ‘Love Barrow’ award for excellence in supporting their community
“BookTastic has expanded our reach and my ambition for what we can bring the children of Barrow. BookTastic is a joy”
