The success of the Duffy Books in Homes programme at your school depends on us, you the school, your students, their parents and your sponsors.

Duffy Books in Homes
We are always here to help in any way we can. If you need assistance with the programme, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Parents
The parental role in instilling a love of books and reading is crucial. Often your parents need help and guidance. One way that they can get involved is with Duffy Books in Homes assemblies, theatre performances and, of course, Caught Being a Good Mum/Dad/Grandparent awards. You can invite parents to participate by downloading an invitation template and perhaps sending it out with your school newsletter.

Sponsors
The programme would not exist without the help of your sponsors. Many sponsors love hearing about the events at your school or from the kids directly. The contact you have with them helps them to feel that their contribution to the school is effective and appreciated. You can involve your sponsor in assemblies and the theatre by downloading an invitation template or help your kids send a message or photo online with an e-card.
