St Bernard’s First School in Gibraltar has been successfully fundraising to replace the outdated books in its existing library to provide the children with fresh and current reading material, but were struggling to get the books delivered to the Rock from the UK.

Richard Smith, Branch Manager of Bishop’s Move Gibraltar said, “We know how important it is to engage this young age group with reading and the love of books. As the largest, family-owned removals company based on the Rock, Bishop’s Move were more than happy to help this valued local community resource.”

Over 1,200 donated children’s books were collected by Bishop’s Move’s Crawley from Worthing, Sussex while the Bishop’s Move International team arranged for their safe shipment to the school.

The Parents Association at St Bernard’s First School and Nursery commented, “Without Bishop’s Move’s generosity and support this would not have been possible. Bishop’s Move’s assistance meant than with the money saved on shipping, we were also able to purchase subsequent books for the library just in time for World Book Day celebrations.”
