Half-term book hunt hailed a success

“We absolutely loved the book hunt this week, it was a brilliant idea!”

A big thank you to everyone who took part in the Great Elmbridge Book Hunt over half term!

Local primary school children from across Elmbridge had the chance to win one of 100 books hidden around the borough, plus a bonus chance to win £200 of books for their school!

We believe that books are a great way to learn about the world around us and make sense of issues and challenges that can affect us all. For the book hunt, we chose 100 well-loved titles suitable for children that focus on the five key issues Walton Charity is committed to tackling here in Elmbridge:

• financial poverty

• housing

• education

• health & wellbeing

• loneliness & isolation

Working with our partners and our local community, we are committed to tackling these important issues to make Elmbridge a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

The winner of the £200 school book prize was Manby Lodge School, Weybridge.
