Make a Real Impact with Our Corporate Volunteering Program

Dymocks Children's Charities invites corporate teams to participate in a rewarding, hands-on volunteering experience that directly supports children's literacy across Australia.

Your team will spend the day at our Sydney office assembling Book Bank packs—sorting, auditing, and packing brand-new books that will go directly to children who need them most. It's a simple yet powerful way to make a difference, all while strengthening team bonds and giving back in a meaningful way.

Beyond the hands-on work, you'll hear firsthand about your support's impact on children's education and future success. We'll also provide morning tea and lunch, ensuring a fulfilling and engaging experience from start to finish. By participating, your business will be directly helping to improve literacy rates and inspire a love of reading among children who need it most.

Corporate volunteering days run from 26 May to 26 June, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Spots are limited, and bookings close on 11 April, 2025. To learn more and secure your team's place, contact us here!

Take a Look: 2024 Year In Review

We’ve accomplished so much together this past year at Dymocks Children’s Charities. Thanks to your incredible support, over 63,000 books were delivered to more than 45,000 children, helping to improve literacy and spark a lifelong love of reading and learning.

In 2024, our literacy programs created lasting change:

Library Regeneration transformed under-resourced libraries into inspiring learning spaces.

Book Bank provided books to children to keep who might not otherwise have access to them.

Lit Club 4 Kids connected over 1,700 young readers to exciting stories and new authors.

But behind every number is a story of a child discovering their new favourite book, a library transformed into a vibrant hub for learning, and a school empowered to foster a love of reading in every student. These moments are what make our work so meaningful.

We encourage you to explore our 2024 Year in Review here to learn more about the lives you’ve helped change. Your support makes a world of difference, and we can’t wait to continue this vital work with you in the year ahead.

Back to School Appeal 2025

Every child deserves the chance to succeed, but for many, starting school without books makes learning harder.

Right now, thousands of children in Australia don’t have access to the basic tools they need—books that spark curiosity and foster learning.

But this is where you can make a difference.

With your support of our Back to School Appeal, you’ll ensure that children can walk into their classrooms equipped and ready to learn.

Your contribution can change the trajectory of a child’s education, giving them the resources to explore, discover, and grow.

Help make sure no child is left behind this school year.

Donate here today and give the gift of learning.
