We are holding our next Charity Bookstall on: FRIDAY 20 NOVEMBER 2026
at the United Church of Egham, High Street, Egham, TW20 9EX
We are delighted to announce that our new online shop is now open for business. Even when our monthly Charity Bookstall is not open, you can buy our books and help raise funds for the local charities we support. Local collection is available if you wish to save postage costs.
For the last 4 years, we have raised on average over £20,000 p.a. Since inception in September 2000, we have raised over £200,000. After deducting running costs, in 2025 we donated £19,600 to local charities and good causes.
How to donate books:
- We are very happy to accept 2-3 bags or small boxes of book donations when our Charity Bookstall is open. For any larger donations please contact us first: uce.fundraise@gmail.com so we can ensure we have the capacity to accept your donation and/or possibly collect from you.

Irrespective of the amount we raise at our monthly Charity Bookstalls, we commit to donating a minimum £500 each month to one or more of our regular local charity partners, giving something back to the local community, who support us so well.
At the end of the year, depending upon how much money we raise, we donate any surplus funds to a number of charities, many chosen by our loyal volunteers.
For the last 4 years , we have raised on average just over £20,000. Since its inception in September 2000, the Charity Bookstall has now raised over £200,000.
THANK YOU to everyone involved, whether a customer, volunteer or a charity partner, in helping keep this community venture going.
