More than 150 York Children Join Nationwide Read and Rave Challenge
Busy Bees aims to create more than 1 million reading moments while raising funds for BBC Children in Need across 350 nurseries.
- This November, Busy Bees Nurseries across the UK launched the Read and Rave challenge, aiming to create more than one million reading moments in 30 days while raising funds for BBC Children in Need.
- The initiative supports Busy Bees' wider Get the Reading Buzz pledge, launched earlier this year to read more than 45 million books, as research shows children's enjoyment of reading has fallen to a 20-year low.
- More than 350 Busy Bees nurseries are pairing books with music and movement, transforming traditional storytime into immersive sessions that spark imaginations and build confidence among participating children.
- Since 2024, the partnership has raised more than £200,000 for BBC Children in Need, supporting the charity's network of around 1,400 projects across the UK.
- Chris McCandless, European CEO at Busy Bees, said the campaign brings books and music to the heart of celebrations, stating, "We're turning that joy up a notch" to support children's long-term development.
