Who we are

The Book Trade Charity (BTBS) was founded in 1837 to help those in need within the book trade. 180 years later we are still helping those in need both through our Grants and Housing.

Our primary work is to offer support to people who have worked in the Book Trade for over 12 months with grants for retraining, living with a disability, medical need and many other needs which those who have worked in the industry might find themselves facing because of redundancy, sickness or other life events.

More recently we have launched this scheme offering Book Trade Entry Support to give grants and funding to people looking to enter the book trade and those in the early stages of their careers.

For more information on the charity and what we do, watch our video below or visit www.booktradecharity.org

Information for publishers & book trade companies

We want as many publishers and other book trade companies as possible to promote the support we offer new entrants when advertising entry level jobs and internships. Whilst we are doing everything we can to promote our support there is no better way of doing so than directly to people looking at entry level job ads. We’re asking all publishers and book trade companies to carry the following wording on their entry level job ads:

The Book Trade Charity offers financial support to people looking to enter the book trade but who may struggle to afford the costs of attending interviews and undertaking internships. For more information visit booktradeentrysupport.org
