The Siobhan Dowd Trust was set up in 2007 to support disadvantaged young readers. The Trust exists to fund any persons or organisations that:
- take stories to our children and young people without stories;
- bring the joy of reading and books to children and young people deprived of access to books and of the opportunity to read;
- fund and support disadvantaged young readers where there is no funding or support.
The Trust is the legacy of one of the UK’s most talented children’s writers, Siobhan Dowd, who died in 2007 at the age of 47. Siobhan founded the Trust shortly before her death, bequeathing the royalties from her four books in support of its aims.
