Volunteer to help a child Read, Grow and Succeed
Can you spare 3 hours per week to help a child, read, grow and succeed?
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 in Stoke-on- Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire 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 oneto-one basis, giving them your full attention and support to improve reading levels, increase overall confidence and 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.
