Donate your leftover currency to The Reader

For over twenty years, The Reader has been building a community of Shared Reading groups across the UK and around the world

At Shared Reading groups, a trained Reader Leader selects wonderful stories and poems to read aloud together. Everyone is welcome to share how the words make them feel, as well as their thoughts, ideas and memories. There is no pressure to talk or read aloud.  
 
Everyone experiences what is read in their own way, but the shared language found in literature can help us to understand ourselves – and others – better.

Shared Reading is for free and for everyone

These groups happen in all sorts of places including libraries, care homes, cathedrals, cafes, hospitals, prisons, and at The Reader’s home in Liverpool’s Calderstones Park – the International Centre for Shared Reading and are attended by people from all walks of life.

It is easy to donate your leftover currency to The Reader. To get started, download and fill out The Reader exchange from.

Donate your leftover travel money to The Reader

Do you have a drawer or jam jar, filled with foreign coins, left over travel money from previous holidays? Would you consider donating that forgotten currency to help fund a good cause?

It's easy to donate your leftover holiday cash; Simply fill out our charity exchange form and send it along with your currency to our Datchet office. We will exchange all currency, coins and notes, foreign and domestic, and donate the exchange value plus 5% extra to The Reader.

How much of my donation goes to The Reader?

We donate the complete exchange value plus 5% extra to The Reader. There are no fees, neither do we subtract any commission. You will receive a confirmation email, containing the amount donate. We will share this information with The Reader.

Which banknotes and coins can I donate?

You can donate any coins or notes, foreign or domestic. We will exchange whatever currency you send us and will donate the combined exchange value plus five percent extra to The Reader.

We will exchange currencies listed on our exchangeable currencies page against the exchange rates shows.

All other banknotes and coins will be exchanged against their numismatic value, bullion value or scrap metal value, whichever is higher. It helps if you sort the currency before you send it. But if you are unable to sort your currency, don't worry. We will take care of the sorting and counting free of charge.
