Groundwork Friendship Bench Prize Draw

Communities across the country are set to benefit thanks to a unique partnership between Groundwork and children’s publisher Frances Lincoln Children’s Books.

The partnership will see Frances Lincoln, part of the Quarto Group, donate 3% of the retail price to the charity from its next book, Thank You, written by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho and acclaimed illustrator Sam Usher. Groundwork will use these funds to install Friendship Benches. A Friendship Bench brings kids together, so if they are ever feeling lonely or left out or simply in need of a friend in that moment, they can place themselves on the bench and the others will know they need company and go and chat to them, bringing children together.

All you have to do is follow us on socials and enter our prize draw.

Competition closes 27th November 2020.
