As part of its Month of Kindness, Manchester United Foundation is hosting a children’s book appeal throughout March, encouraging fans, staff and players to donate new and pre-loved books to children in need.

Working with national charity The Children’s Book Project, the donations will be sorted and distributed to partner primary schools of the Foundation, impacting young people through reading, education and imagination.

MATCHDAY APPEAL

If you are attending Old Trafford matchdays in March, please bring children's books to donate at designated bag-drop locations across the stadium.

Donation points will be available at the men’s Aston Villa game on Sunday 15 March and the women’s Manchester derby, against City, on Saturday 28 March.

Please donate new or good-quality children’s books for primary school-aged children between 5-11.

You can also donate at the Foundation office on Sir Matt Busby Way during the opening hours, 9:00 GMT-17:00 GMT, Monday to Fridays.

Thank you - your support will make a huge difference to children across Greater Manchester.
