Can you spare 3 hours per week to help a child, read, grow and succeed?
We have several volunteer helpers who come into school to help with classwork throughout the week. In addition to this, we are hoping to secure the help of Beanstalk Readers in school.
Beanstalk is a national literacy charity that trains and supports volunteers to work in primary schools with children who have fallen behind with their reading. We are currently looking for volunteers and would like you to consider volunteering for us.
Alternatively, you may wish to pass our details to someone you know, who might wish to volunteer for us.
As a Beanstalk reading helper you will work with three children for two 30 minute sessions a week, during term-time on a one-to-one basis to help inspire a lifelong love of reading. Together, you will read, play and talk. With your support the child's approach to learning and enjoying reading will be transformed.
Volunteering as a Beanstalk reading helper is extremely rewarding, makes a lasting difference to children's lives and is a great way to give something back to your local community.
For more information please contact Patricia Burnett on 01782 827375 email: patricia.burnett@beanstalkcharity.org.uk or visit: www.beanstalkcharity.org.uk to apply online.
Beanstalk is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share this commitment
