Charity at Usborne

What we do to give back

Charity at Usborne

We are passionate about giving back

Charity is at the heart of everything we do at Usborne. 

Usborne Staff Charity of the Year

Each year, the Usborne staff choose a charity to focus their fundraising efforts on, and every pound raised by employees is matched by the company. Comfort Cases was chosen by Usborne staff as the main charity for 2024/5, with fundraising events planned throughout the year.

Coram Beanstalk Reading Helpers

Usborne also supports staff who want to work with the reading charity Coram Beanstalk, where adults listen to children - particularly those with reading difficulties - reading out loud.
 
Living Paintings

Living Paintings, founded in 1989, brings pictures to life for children who are blind or visually impaired. The charity operates a free nationwide postal library of audio tactile books containing tactile images, clear braille inserts and audio descriptions that guide readers through all the illustrations, making visual stories and learning accessible through touch and sound.

Charitable Giving

We regularly donate free books and money to children's charities – last year we donated to over 100 charities, mainly working to help children around the world. Usborne is a corporate sponsor of Ministry of Stories and a sponsor of the Booktrust Children’s Laureate. 
 
Book Gifting
 
We also support various Booktrust book gifting programmes in England and Scotland including Bookstart, Bookbug, Bookbuzz and Letterbox.
 
To ensure any returned books still find a good home, our social selling division, Usborne Community Partnerships, has partnered with REACT, a humanitarian charity that works to empower disabled children throughout Ghana.
 
This complements their previous working relationship with School Aid, where they were able to gift over 40,000 books to schools and libraries in Africa, as well as to local causes in the UK.

The Usborne Foundation

Run by Nicola and Martin, the two children of our founder Peter Usborne, The Usborne Foundation is a charity founded by the Usborne family which harnesses research, design and technology to create playful media addressing issues from literacy to health.

As well as giving financial support to a number of other organisations doing important work in this field, The Usborne Foundation has developed a suite of BAFTA-nominated online reading games called Teach Your Monster to Read. The games, which are free to play on a computer, aim to make the process of learning to read fun and accessible. 

The Foundation also donates to charities dealing with animal welfare and mental health, both of which are close to the family's hearts.
