Volunteer opportunity- Reading Helper in Primary Schools

[Beanstalkcharity]

Could you volunteer to help a child read, grow and succeed?

The Mayor?s Fund 'Inspiring Reading' project, delivered in partnership with Beanstalk Charity, recruits, trains and supports volunteers to work in primary schools with children who have fallen behind with their reading.

Get involved and make a real difference to a child?s future.

Volunteers are matched with three children who they will work with on a regular basis, building a relationship to help them read, grow and succeed. We are looking for volunteers in Southwark, and particularly the East Dulwich area.

To become an Inspiring Reading volunteer, you need to:

? Be able to spare three hours per week, plus your travel time

? Commit for at least a year

? Have been resident in the UK for at least two years

? Be fluent in English and a competent reader

? Believe in the importance of literacy
