Annual reports, impact books and fundraising titles printed professionally on a tight budget — with friendly guidance for volunteer teams who aren’t print experts.
Every pound in a charity budget has to justify itself. That means your annual report, your donor publication or your fundraising anthology needs to look genuinely professional — not photocopied — without a commercial print run price tag attached to it.
We print for charities, foundations, community groups, faith organisations and social enterprises at quantities that make sense for organisations your size. Short runs, friendly advice for volunteer coordinators who don’t deal with printers every day, and — if you’re selling a fundraising title through shops or online — ISBN barcoding and a free ONIX export so you’re ready for the trade from day one.
A properly bound, professionally printed report carries far more weight with donors and trustees than a PDF on a screen. Saddle-stitch for slim reports, perfect or PUR for weightier ones.
Supporter-contributed story collections and community recipe books that raise funds when sold. We can apply your ISBN, barcode the cover, and supply a free ONIX file so the title lists in the book trade.
Commemorative hardbacks marking a charity’s founding, a campaign milestone or a community anniversary. Case-bound with thread-sewn pages — a lasting record that backers are proud to own.
Magazines, yearbooks and community story collections that keep supporters connected to your mission. Mono, colour or mixed — no extra charge for switching within a single book.
Build the spec, see the price live. No account required, no email gate — just an instant figure based on what you actually want.
Absolutely. Short runs are what we do, and we’re happy to talk through the options that give you the most professional result for the budget you have. Choices like saddle-stitch over perfect binding, or a mono interior with a colour cover, can make a meaningful difference to the per-copy cost without compromising how the finished piece reads. Get in touch and we’ll work through it with you.
For slim publications — roughly under 48 pages depending on paper weight — saddle-stitch (stapled through the spine) is the most economical and practical choice. It lies flat, looks smart, and keeps the per-copy cost down. For anything thicker, perfect binding or PUR gives a proper square spine and a more substantial feel.
You’ll need an ISBN if you want the book listed by retailers or distributors. ISBNs are issued by Nielsen in the UK — we don’t sell them, but once you have yours we barcode the cover and supply a free ONIX metadata file so the title is trade-ready from the moment it’s printed.
Not at all. We work with volunteer coordinators and first-time clients regularly. We’ll check your files before anything goes to press and flag any issues — resolution, bleed, colour mode — so you don’t get a nasty surprise.

Yes, and it’s one of the most cost-effective combinations for charity publications. A full-colour cover gives your report or book a professional, donor-facing finish, while a mono interior keeps the per-page cost sensible. Mixing mono and colour within a single book carries no extra charge.
