Books in Homes' is a national charity which raises money to provide Primary School children with 3 new books of their choice per term. Most of us take it for granted that there are books in  homes, however for children in remote areas such as Derby, some children have never had a book of their own. These pictures tell the real story of the benefit of this fabulous charity.

In 2006, 6DBY spearheaded a local campaign for "Books in Derby Homes" holding a 'live to air' Auction. The auction featured fabulous local artwork, artifacts and donations of all sorts from the whole of the shire, from chickens to trail rides! The fundraising efforts were recognised nationally by the CBAA with an Award for 'Best/ Fundraising idea'. The community raised $60,000 for Books in Derby Homes.

This year the team at 6DBY held another 'Books in Homes' AUCTION 'live to air' on May 1st, 2008. We raised $6,500 for this worthy cause.

Now its 2009 and Books in Homes really needs funds to keep the project going in Derby. So our 3rd Books in Homes Auction is on May 21. We have some fantastic items up for Auction so tune in from 7am to 7pm and bid on your favorite item. Mary G will join us on the day for some fun raising for this great charity.

If you or your organisation would like to sponsor this event in any way then please contact us as we really need your support.
