Local charity, Whiteley's Retreat recently launched their new, innovative children's book, written by Lorraine Johnston, to raise awareness and funds for Whiteley's Retreat. Whiteley's are a fantastic organisation, based in Ayrshire providing free therapeutic shorts breaks for children, young people and their families with cancer and life altering illnesses.

BCA members Launch Digital and Kestrel Press offered to help in the development of the book. Both businesses were delighted to get involved with this exciting project and worked closely with Lorraine and Maxine to create the perfect book which reflects the ethos and values of Whiteley's Retreat. Launch Digital worked on the design and layout of the new children’s book, and Kestrel Press printed and bound the books on sustainable paper.

“I can’t thank Launch and Kestrel Press enough for taking on the design and print project of Whit of Whiteleys Wood, and helping me get the book over the line to print. WoWW is a wonderful creation written by Lorraine Johnston and brought to life by the talented illustrator Mandy Sinclair. I hope to raise awareness of Whiteleys Retreat and the vital services we offer to families throughout the region. A children’s book will spread the word in a much more light hearted fashion and bring joy to so many young people and their families. Hopefully, we can raise funds along the way too from the sale of the book. Every penny from the sale of each book goes to charity, as these kind hearted creatives have donated their services.”
