The Festival is a registered charity and supports the Charlotte Aitken Trust Schools Week. Any surplus we make is used to support local community charities.

Each year, 7000 plus pupils benefit from author events organised in the classroom or library at their school, many of which are subsidised. The Charlotte Aitken Trust is just one of the many grantmakers who help make this happen - click here for more information.
