In an attempt to stop people judging books by their cover, the idea of a \u2018Blind Date Book Club\u2019 is the perfect solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of the fundraiser is to buy a mystery book which is wrapped up so you can\u2019t see the cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proceeds from the book sale are going towards the Gaza Emergency Appeal and Sparkle Sheffield.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book sale started on Monday at the University of Sheffield\u2019s Student Union and will finish this Friday, with the girls on a mission to sell out all their books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The charity was set up by the university’s Raising and Giving (RAG) community and there will be multiple fundraising events across the student’s union this week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The books sold are pre-loved to support sustainable reading, and donations of old books are still being accepted until the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gaza Emergency Appeal prioritises safe water, medicine supplies and short-term shelter kits for the people of Gaza who have lost everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girls are also fundraising for Sparkle Sheffield, a charity who supports families with autistic children to make them feel less isolated and more empowered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organisation are still accepting book donations until Friday 3rd of May, and donations can continue to be made with the fundraiser.\u00a0More information can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
