Thank you for your interest in a fully funded Bookbug for the Home Training Course for your organisation.

Please complete this form to formally request a training course. We have a limited number of courses we can offer fully funded so we cannot guarantee your request will be successful.

Currently our training courses are being run online only. Please see the description of the Bookbug for the Home training on the Scottish Book Trust website for details.

Even the smallest fee, or the suggestion of a donation, would mean that some families would not be able to take part.
