Thinking out of the box for a Father’s Day gift
As head bookworm for the international disaster relief charity, ShelterBox, here’s a last-minute suggestion worth considering this Father’s Day.
Instead of the usual dash for socks, beer, or hankies, why not consider something more alternative – like a charity book club subscription?
The gift of joining our growing online community of book lovers could be just the ticket and, better still, will help make a difference to people around the world uprooted from their homes because of disaster or conflict.
ShelterBox Book Club focuses on international stories inspired by the communities we support.
It works for those buying in advance, but it’s also the ideal purchase for people who wake up on Sunday, June 19 still wondering what to get.
For a donation of £10 a month, members vote for the next title, receive their new book in the post and join an online discussion every six weeks.
Gift membership is available in packages of three, six, and 12 months.
