Books2Africa Curiosity

Our Curiosity App is at the heart of our commitment to transparency. It catalogues and tracks the full readcycling journey of every donated book, ensuring supporters can see exactly how their contributions make a difference. Below, you can explore all Impact Reports submitted since our very first shipment or explore our Impact Reports Map. Impact reports are typically completed within three months after materials are delivered, and while not every supported project has submitted theirs yet, all reports received so far are published openly here. If you donate books to us, you can also follow the journey of each of your donated books and view photos of selected impact books in the hands of their new owners via our book donors’ Impact Portal.

Charity Shop FAQs

We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.

If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it. 

The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.

Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.

Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.

Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.

However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
