Suffolk Book League is a registered charity that has encouraged a love of reading since 1982 and continues to support a range of local initiatives across the county. Aside from bringing a range of popular and distinguished writers to Suffolk, we have held writer's days, donated prizes to the University of Suffolk for English, and to the New Angle Prize, a prestigious prize given to authors from our region. We have also supported literacy groups and partner events, including the Suffolk Libraries Book Mastermind competition. For more see: https://www.suffolkbookleague.org/charitable-work

In May 2019 the novelist Tessa Hadley appeared  at one of our regular monthly events. Afterwards she commented:

​

‘So great to remember that there are groups like your Book League out there,  full of such authentic love for literature, so well-read and with such sophisticated understanding. Of course that’s who we writers are addressing, always. But so reassuring to meet that audience in person.’
