Volunteers needed

I am writing to ask if you would like to volunteer to help with a very exciting project in Lache Primary School (and others). I run a service that provides schools with well trained and supported volunteers who work one to one with children who need the attention of an adult to help them to learn to communicate effectively, listen and read. Our project is all about giving children a love of books and reading but we also do many other activities with the children much as a very interested grandparent or aunt/uncle might do. Our volunteers go into school twice a week for an hour and a half and work one to one with three children. They see the same children each time so they build up a very special relationship with their little groups. The children really love their sessions and the results to date have been excellent. We are already working with over 40 children and the school now want another 10 volunteers. The volunteers don’t need any special experience as they are well trained, supported and resourced. They just need to be able to make a child feel special. All the volunteers love the work that they do and the difference that they make is sometimes life changing.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life and they are all ages and both men and women. Consistency, reliability and passion are the things that we ask of them and  in return they can expect to be supported, well appreciated and feel that they have made a real difference to a child’s life. Please let me know if you could help.

Many thanks
