“Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down” - Elwyn Brooks White (Author of Charlotte's Web)
Our Bristol Charity Initiative
Charities we're working with in Bristol, UK
Aid Box Community is a Bristol-based humanitarian organisation offering vital support to asylum seekers and refugees. Their mission aligns closely with the message that we seek to promote with our children's books here at Clever Fox Press. We are so proud to be a part of the remarkable work that they do, having donated multiple copies of our books 'Katya's Sunflowers' and 'The Dreamer' to the 'Free Shop' in Montpelier, allowing Bristol-based refugees to pick up any donations free of charge. We look foward to working more with them in the future, including read-aloud groups with refugee children, helping them adjust to a new life here in Bristol.
The Grand Appeal is the official charity for Bristol Children's Hospital, helping to fund life-saving equipment, provide family accommodation, support medical research, and offer wellbeing services like arts, music, and play therapy. We are delighted to have been able to donate multiple copies of our book 'Tim-Tim and the Sickly Monster' to their two oncology wards at the Bristol Children's Hospital and we hope to come back in the future to provide reading circles and story time as part of their outstanding wellbeing services.
Ukrainian Aid and Welfare is a charity dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of Ukrainian people affected by crises, focusing on humanitarian aid, community education, supporting refugees and preserving Ukrainian heritage. We are honoured to support their Ukrainian School in Bristol, a school that is committed to instilling a love for the Ukrainian language, culture and traditions in children of Ukrainian heritage. We are so pleased to have donated our Ukrainian editions of Katya's Sunflowers and The Dreamer, stories that align with their mission to nurture, preserve and celebrate the Ukrainian language, culture, and identity among their wonderful students.
