The Catherine Cookson Charitable Trust

Books in the library

Each year, we send 'Read on, New books and our monthly enewsletter free of charge to all of our 43,000 readers in the format of their choice. With these publications we aim to keep you up-to-date with what's available and provide ideas and inspiration about new books and authors to try. We are therefore delighted and very grateful that the Catherine Cookson Charitable Trust has recognised the importance of our Read On magazine with an incredible award of £100,000.

"The Catherine Cookson Trust supports a wide range of activities including education and training, environment and conservation, arts and culture as well as general charitable purposes. The Trust's principal aim is to identify and meet the local needs of the area in which Dame Catherine was brought up and resided."

Most of Catherine Cookson's novels are available from RNIB in braille and as a talking book.
