A Sheffield woman has set up a GoFundMe campaign to purchase books which will be donated to vulnerable children and families across the city.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Louise Knowles, 34, is an independent Usborne organiser and is aiming to raise \u00a3600 through generous donations from the public.<\/p>\n

She is now just over \u00a380 from her target, and the company she works for have agreed to top the order up by 60 per cent, meaning a total of \u00a3960 of children\u2019s educational and fictitious books will hopefully be donated.<\/p>\n

Ms Knowles hopes that the donation will massively benefit the charity and families in need, and said: \u201cI think books are crucial for all children, not just for their learning, but also for the enjoyment and the escapism they can provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo child should miss out on the pleasure of reading because of where they come from, how much money their family has or any other reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes after recent figures revealed that seven in 10 children in poverty are now in a working family, meaning those even with parents in employment still struggle to put food on the table and provide financial stability.<\/p>\n

Twice as many people<\/a> in Sheffield are now claiming Universal credit compared to the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The mountain of books will be donated to the Hope City Foundation, which is a local Charity based in The MegaCentre in the city centre.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1998, it specialises in areas such as youth and schools work, help for the elderly and support for asylum seekers and refugees.<\/p>\n

The books are to be distributed in \u2018Hope Hampers\u2019 which are parcels containing food, books and advice for the most vulnerable families in and around the city<\/p>\n

Gemma Otten, spokesperson for the Foundation, said: \u201cIt\u2019s such a kind thing to do for the foundation, and is much appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n
