BookTastic Children’s Festival

Since 2022, I have been the evaluator for the wonderful BookTastic Children's Book Festival in Bedford, which seeks to encourage a love of books and reading for all children. I ran focus groups with children at three primary schools in Bedford, led teacher discussions, and consulted with potential future local community representatives. I am delighted to conduct evaluation for this impactful initiative on an annual basis - now including schools in Barrow-in-Furness - and to assist the Director and Trustees in the exciting future developments currently taking shape for the Festival.
