Schools Schools have been at the forefront of the Auxiliary’s distribution efforts for a long time. Subsequently we have tried to build on these successes. May God bless His Word to the children! In 2022, churches helped the Auxiliary distribute the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Commemorative Bible to local school children. 6,500 Bibles went to schools and 2,800 through direct mail contact by the Auxiliary. In 2023 Coronation Bibles were given to school children in recognition of the coronation of King Charles III. Here children at a Northamptonshire school have received their Coronation Bibles.
Residential Care and Nursing Homes Since 2021 nearly 1,200 Bibles have been distributed free of charge to residential homes. Many of these have been large print editions.
Prisons TBS Bibles, calendars, and diaries are distributed to prisons in the Auxiliary area. TBS calendars are always greatly appreciated. We supply these in a number of languages.
Open Air Ministry The Auxiliary supports those who bring the Word of God to High Streets in their open-air ministry, distributing Bibles, New Testaments, and tracts.
Public Display Public Displays on Buses Bus advertisements are a very cost-effective way of displaying the Word of God. Buses in Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage (2022), Milton Keynes (2023), and Northampton (2024) carried Bible texts and an offer of a free Bible. Several Bibles have been requested. We have also supported the TBS bus shelter campaign.
Public Text Displays Outside Churches Many churches support the work of the Auxiliary by displaying text posters to the public. The Auxiliary is willing to help churches with the cost of displaying Scripture posters.

Free Bible Displays Free Bible distribution continues outside churches, from market stalls, and directly to various institutions. Many churches offer a free Bible to passers-by. The Auxiliary has a special sales price for Bibles used in free distribution.
