Campaign raises hundreds for literacy charity

A fundraising campaign organised by flex office operator Cubo has raised hundreds of pounds for a national literacy charity.

The campaign, which was launched in late November in a bid to encourage members and businesses to ‘Gift a Child a Book at Christmas’, has raised £750 for Bookmark, which will use the cash to buy 150 new books for children.

Cubo has now adopted Bookmark as its annual charity for 2024.

The company is set to organise a series of fundraising events throughout the year to buy more books and help transform children’s lives through the joy of reading.

Rebecca Brough, from Cubo, said: “The response from our members and local businesses in the run up to Christmas was fantastic, and we’re thrilled to have raised so much money in such a short space of time.

“Bookmark is an incredible charity, which is working to brighten the lives of children and empower them through the gift of literature.

“This aligns perfectly with Cubo’s vision of making a tangible difference in communities where we have a presence.”
