Welcome to Annabel's Book Club

Our Story

Our Story

 Annabel Mackey was a loving, kind and fun little one in our Mackey family. We shared, still share and will continue to share storybooks together.


Through our community initiative, Annabel’s Book Club, we aim to bring comfort to children and families during some of the most difficult times in their lives by providing new books to share together and treasure.

Our Story

 In September 2023 Annabel was lovingly cared for at Southampton Hospital PICU. On this day I wanted to read her a story in the hope she could still hear my voice to remind her I was with her. Searching for a story book, we were unable to find one. We looked to the internet for a story to read but with advert pop-ups we were interrupted.
