The Moto in the Community Trust, the charitable arm of motorway service area provider Moto, has raised enough funds to donate a new fiction book for 10,000 children.
In partnership with Oxford University Press, the Trust launched the 10,000 books for 10,000 kids campaign earlier this year.
Brian Lotts, Chairman of the Trust, said: “Moto staff have worked really hard over the last few months fundraising to reach our target to purchase a new fiction book for every one of our 10,000 adopted children.”
