What we deliver
Blank room to decorated library
Working with the school leadership team we design, build, stock and launch the library. We maintain a relationship with the school helping them to optimise the efficiency of the library.
We work with parents, carers and the school's community supporting them to engage with the library and the books that their children bring home.
Full supply of books
We source books through numerous channels.
In priority order.
- Donations (90%)
- Publishers and other charities (5%)
- Purchases (5%)
Furniture & artwork
A library is not simply a lot of books on shelves. It is a safe space. It is somewhere where you want to be. Somewhere to read and be read to. We help source, and install the furniture, decorate the room and set up the library system to create an attractive, high quality environment.
Ongoing support
Our work doesn’t stop at the library launch day. We help train the staff, librarians and children. We regularly visit our completed libraries and review progress. We share best practices between projects to make sure our libraries really make a difference
How we work
Our network of volunteers source books locally from donations and book collection points. We sort, index and store them ready for the next project.
Step 1: Identifying the right schools
We use the IMD (Index of Multiple Deprivation) as a guide to the areas we work in. Currently in the South East our focus is Hounslow, Feltham and surrounds. We then look at the PPG% (Pupil Premium Grant %) and the FSM% (Free School Meal%) to identify schools in these areas. We also work with local authorities and head teacher groups to identify specific schools.
Step 2: Project scoping
Once we have identified a potential school we then contact the Head of School and discuss whether they have a lending library, their literacy strategy and their ambitions regarding reading for pleasure. If aligned, we then move to an onsite review to look at the project in detail and to put together a budget and plan.
Step 3: Library creation
Sourcing books is an ongoing process and we have a logistics store where we keep books ready for the next project. The creation of the library starts with the design of the room and the ideas on decoration. Once the room is decorated and the shelves and furniture in, we bring in the books and set up the system. We use the Libresoft system which allows children and their parents look at the library from home, reserve books and leave reviews
Step 4: Ongoing support
This starts with finding volunteers to run the library. We train the volunteers and work closely with them in the set up and first few months of operation. We hold a review with the teaching team and the Head Librarian every term to review the data on library usage and share best practice. Where needed we will offer hands on support on initiatives
Case study
Located in Hanworth, Middlesex, St Richard’s CE primary school has 200 pupils, with 38% on free school meals and 30% with special needs
“I am incredibly proud of all the hard work that has gone into producing this wonderful library by all of our volunteers. We have never had a library space at our school and I am pleased that our children finally have such a beautiful, inspiring, calm space to enjoy reading.”

Our next projects
Buckingham Junior School - Hampton
Buckingham School is ½ a mile up the road from our first project at St Richard’s and serves a similar community. The school has a pupil roll of 402 children and it’s Pupil Premium Grant is 41%. It has a GOOD at Ofsted. Buckingham have a library space, but it is tired and they do not have a library system. Our plan at the Buckingham is to completely redecorate the library space and replace the tired shelving. They already have approximately 1000 viable books so we need to source another 2000. Our estimate for this project is £25,000
Volunteering
If you like what we are doing and would like to get involved we have numerous ways you can help
Book collection
We need volunteers to collect books for us. Through friends, families and your local communities we are looking for volunteers to collect good quality books for 4 to 12 year olds. Fiction, non-fiction and picture books. Our aim is to source 12,000 books a year so there’s a lot of work to be done. If you think you can help then please contact one of the team. Once you have collected the books you can drop them off at our storage location or we can come and pick them up.
Equipment
We are always on the look out for desktop PC’s, printers, scanners and laminators. If you have any spare IT we would love to hear from you.
Librarians
If one of our projects is close to you and you can come and help 1 or 2 days a week then we are always on the look out for librarians.
Design and build
Good with your hands or a budding artist, we need volunteers to help with building and decorating libraries. This might be painting, artwork or building shelves. If you think you can help here please contact one of the team and we can discuss the project that might be right for you.
Library system setup
There’s a lot of work involved in setting the library up on the system. From cataloging the books on the system with barcodes, to printing out library cards. If you can help here please contact one of the team.
“A powerful example of collaboration between teachers parents and the community with a network of people coming together in the project to support our young people. To also be at the launch with a renowned local children’s author just added to the magic and excitement that was so evident on the children’s faces.”

Founder - david@fairstart.charity
I was looking for something to do that made a difference. Having tried several routes I decided to go back to my junior school, St Richard’s CE. After a discussion with Lauren the Head of School we decided I could help build the library. Having seen the difference this has made to the children and the school, I decided to take the learnings from St Richard’s and scale up. From there, Fair Start was formed.
Before retiring I ran a management consultancy MGH Technology Solutions that helped technology companies better manage their reverse logistics supply chains.

FAQs
How can I see where my donation goes?
All of the money donated goes directly to setting up one of our current projects. If you want to donate towards a specific project you can specify this and we will keep you updated on progress. If you would like to see progress / be invited to the library opening we will regularly keep you informed when we hit major milestones
Why do Fair Start insist on an ongoing relationship with the school?
A lot of work goes into running a successful library. For the library to be a success it is essential that the initial excitement isn’t lost. As we build expertise with every project we are able to share best practice. Using the same system in all the libraries allows us to help schools to best use the reporting functions. This allows them to make sure the library has books that the children want to read and to run initiatives to make sure everyone is reading
What are the long term aims of the charity?
In our first year we aim to complete 3 more libraries. and from there at least 4 libraries a year. Our long term aim is for every primary school in the South East to have a well functioning lending library. If we achieve this we will look at where else we can take the offering. That might be a mobile library or other areas of need such as young offenders institutions

Our next projects
Buckingham Junior School - Hampton
Buckingham School is ½ a mile up the road from our first project at St Richard’s and serves a similar community. The school has a pupil roll of 402 children and it’s Pupil Premium Grant is 41%. It has a GOOD at Ofsted. Buckingham have a library space, but it is tired and they do not have a library system. Our plan at the Buckingham is to completely redecorate the library space and replace the tired shelving. They already have approximately 1000 viable books so we need to source another 2000. Our estimate for this project is £25,000
St Joseph’s Primary - Kingston
St Joseph’s Primary is in the heart of Kingston. It has a pupil roll of 247 Children with a Pupil Premium Grant of 25%. It also has a GOOD at Ofsted. They have some books in a corridor (see picture) but no library system. The shelving is not fit for purpose and the space is tired. Our plan with St Joseph’s is to create a whole new library in a spare classroom. This will involve a complete redecoration of the room and all new shelving. Whilst we can use some of the books they have we need to source another 2000 books. Our estimate for this project is £25,000.
Priory Fields - Dover
Priory Fields School in Dover has a pupil roll of 358. It’s Pupil Premium Grant is 48% and the school is in an area of extreme book poverty. The school has a GOOD at Ofsted. Priory Fields is in a new building but their “library” is only nonfiction and there is no facility to take books home. The current space is dull and messy and the plan is to move into a new larger and lighter space on the first floor. We estimate that we will need to source 3000 current fiction books for this project and our estimate for the project is £30,000. The leadership team are extremely keen to build a library, not only for the children but one that can serve the local community.
