DESCRIPTION

We are a registered charity which recruits, trains and supports reading mentors to work 1-1 with children in primary schools across the county. We have a growing network of over 300 volunteers working in over 120 Oxfordshire schools supporting around 1000 children every year. Our reading mentors volunteer for a few hours per week, during term time. It is important that the children we work with have continuity and stability, volunteers need to commit to be dedicated and reliable.
