Calibre Audio receives no government funding and we rely on the generosity of people like you to fund our running costs. Every year we need to raise almost £1.5 million to deliver our audiobook service and would not be able to do this without the generosity of the individuals, trusts and companies who support us. We really couldn’t do this without you.
Each time I listen to a book I think of all the kind people who make the service possible. Without them my life would be impossible. Sheila from Wiltshire.
