The Give a Book project was begun in memory of Gray, who died in 2008, where books are given away to people who love reading but are too ill or old to procure books themselves. It’s an innovative scheme where they facilitate, through donations, the gift of books to charities like Maggie’s Centres and Age Concern. We at LWS are happy to spread the word and assist the Give a Book concern in procuring more books in order to help those folks out there. More details about the foundation can be found on their website and also in this Telegraph article.
