About Dymocks Children's Charities
Creating readers and shaping futures through the power of books
Dymocks Children's Charities is a national Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving literacy outcomes for children experiencing disadvantage. We believe every child deserves access to quality books and the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of reading, regardless of their circumstances.
Building Futures Through Literacy
Since 2000, we've worked with schools, communities, and supporters across Australia to put more books in children's hands, strengthen school library collections, and create opportunities for children to discover the joy of reading.
Through our literacy programs, we're helping remove barriers to reading and give more children the resources they need to learn, grow and thrive.
Our Mission
To foster a love of reading and improve literacy outcomes for disadvantaged children in Australia.
Our mission drives everything we do, from providing children with books to call their own to helping schools build vibrant, engaging libraries that support their students' learning.
By working closely with educators and communities, we aim to make a meaningful, lasting difference in children's reading experiences.
Our Impact to Date
Since our establishment in 2000, Dymocks Children's Charities has helped bring the joy of reading to communities across Australia. Behind every number is a child with greater access to books, a school with more resources or a community better equipped to support young readers.
