10,000 Bibles  for children

Many thousands of free Bibles have found their way into the hands of school children across London in just two years.

In December 2019, the Greater London Auxiliary of the Trinitarian Bible Society (TBS) was formed. Its focus has been on schools where 10,000 Bibles (King James Version) have been presented to children and a talk given about the Bible.

The TBS said requests for Bibles increased following the offer of special commemorative Bibles, including the Platinum Jubilee Bible and a later edition to mark the reign of the late Queen. It said there are plans to produce a commemorative edition for the Coronation of Charles III, which is due to take place on 6 May 2023.
