Free World Book Day Promotional Items - Quick Read vouchers

Recently it was World Book Day and there were £1.00 quick read vouchers at local libraries etc; so I emailed them and asked for more vouchers for my workmates/family and friends. Today, they sent me:

100 x £1.00 book read vouchers, 50 pens, 50 pencils, 50 erasers, 50 bookmarks, 50 stickers and 4 mugs, as well as several promotional posters.

(Incidentally, the quick read vouchers also scan at Tescos without purchasing the books and are valid until 31st December - the vouchers are to be used against quick read books for adults and NOT the children's books associated with World Book Day).

I am using my items to promote the quick read books in my office and will be distributing my goodies/vouchers to work colleagues/friends and family.

To contact them to request your promotional items : the email is quickreads@niace.org.uk --- website address: https://www.quickreads.org.uk

Hope that helps someone

    I emailed them asking if I could get two vouchers (1 for each of my daughters)

    Last year the school got a voucher for each child.. I guess they were doing it this year. Thanks for this.

    ETA: Just been on the site and you can print the vouchers off from there as well. :j
