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.
We are looking for reading volunteers to give one hour a week to go into a local primary school to help children who are struggling with reading, confidence and self-esteem. Our Employee Volunteer Scheme asks employers to give their staff one hour a week to go into a school and inspire children to love reading and develop skills for life.
Our Reading Helpers go into a local primary school for one hour a week to support children with reading, confidence and well-being. Our Reading Helpers are trained, given all resources, and spend one hour a week over the course of a year giving a child 1:1 attention and giving them a safe space to thrive!
