How important are volunteers to Beanstalk, and what sort of things do they do? How can our readers get involved?
Our volunteer reading helpers are the lifeblood of Beanstalk, we simply wouldn’ t be able to deliver our life-changing one-to-one reading support without their commitment, support and expertise.
I’ ve been a volunteer reading helper myself for about a year now and I can honestly say that it is one of the most rewarding things I’ ve done. The other week one of the girls I support managed to finish a book for the first time in her life and it made me so proud of her, as she’ s come such a long way in just a few months’ worth of support.
If you’ d like to get involved and become a Beanstalk reading helper then visit www. beanstalkcharity. org. uk or call 01622 662026.
Where do you operate?
We work across the Kent and Medway area and we’ ve also just started working in East Sussex which we’ re excited about. On a national level we also work across London, the Midlands, the North of England, and in Somerset and Norfolk.
What does the future hold?
We’ re expanding our work so that we support 30,000 children every year. And we’ re soon to be helping children from ages 3-13, as the earlier we can support children the bigger the educational improvements. We’ re also increasing our work in Kent and Medway, so that we can ensure that more children have the skills and confidence they need when leaving primary school.
