Our Online Reading Volunteer programme connects corporate volunteers with struggling young readers in the classroom. Each volunteer spends 30 minutes reading online with the same child each week for a whole school year. Over time, this 1:1 support helps transform each child’s reading confidence and ability. Our corporate partners sponsor teams of ten volunteers to read with children in regions of deprivation across the UK. We provide training, DBS checks, impact data and volunteer support.
We are seeking funding to provide 100 disadvantaged children in Newport with weekly online reading sessions. We will recruit corporate and student volunteers to read online with the children in the classroom from January to December 2025. Using our bespoke, secure platform, this 1:1 support will help to transform the children’s reading confidence and ability. We shall provide training, DBS checks and ongoing support for the volunteers. A laptop and headset will be provided for each class.
