Shop for good

Check out a range of ways to shop whilst helping us raise valuable funds - at no extra cost!

Bookshop.Org

Bookshop.org is an online bookshop with a mission to financially support local, independent bookshops.

As more and more people buy their books online, they wanted to create an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support bookshops at the same time. They also support anyone who advocates for books through an affiliate scheme, of which Coram Beanstalk is a member! Any sale of a book through our page, means a donation of a 10% commission to us, and gives a matching 10% to independent bookshops! 

So do take a look at our lists of recommended Brilliant Beanstalk Books, books by our ambassadors Michael Morpurgo OBE and Liz Pichon, and also a selection of books by our author supporters - and remember that any book you buy through the page will give a donation both to us and to independent book shops.

Buy books through Bookshop.org here

Bookstainable eco book boxes

Bookstainable are a children's eco book box company, perfect for young people and families that love books and are environmentally conscious. Each box includes two second hand books, an eco gift, a bookmark and a 5% donation to Coram Beanstalk.

    Coram Beanstalk and Very.co.uk are asking children to cheer up their neighbours on World Book Day!  Rather than asking them to dress up as their favourite character on March 4th, as they might have done at school or nursery, we're asking children to dress up the windows of their house or flat instead, by drawing pictures of their favourite book characters, entering them into our World Book Day competition and then displaying them in their windows.
