Welcome to
Book Aid Charitable Trust

For the last thirty-five years, we have been collecting books from our supporters throughout the UK to supply Bibles and Christian literature to our partners living in areas of the world where books are wanted but not easily found or afforded.

About Us

Book Aid’s aim is to make Bibles and Christian Literature available at locally affordable prices for those who long to strengthen their faith through reading the Bible and other Christian literature. To this end, we send books globally to our partner bookshops and well as sell books in the UK. We have distributed over 35 million books to our partners since 1988!

How It Works

Collect Books

Volunteers gather donated books through a network of UK volunteer collection points, and then transport them to our warehouses where they are sorted, selected, boxed and placed on pallets ready for shipment.

Send Books

When the books reach their destinations, our partners sell them at locally affordable prices. The profit earned through the book sales supports local ministries, initiatives and also allows them to employ staff.

Sell books

Out of the surplus of books we receive in our warehouses, we sell some in our bookshops in the UK, which contributes to the cost of shipping and administration. Click here for further information regarding our bookshops.

We are always looking for people to help us collect, sort and package books. If you have some time and a willingness to support Book Aid in these activities, please contact us!

Help by giving

Your monetary gift will help us cover the cost of shipping books all over the world to our trusted partners, as well as the administration cost required to sort and package all our books.
