A big well done to our Hackney group who are going to be awarded £3776 through the Tesco Bags of Help initiative! This will help fund the group as they support more adults to learn to read via one-to-one reader coaching.
The first Read Easy group in the North West is poised to start in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. We are excited to already have the support of a range of local people and individuals who want to make a difference for adults who struggle to read or who cannot read at all.
Would you like to be part of a small and enthusiastic team? Perhaps you have existing skills you’d like to use or perhaps would like to develop some new ones. If so, Read Easy Wythenshawe might be an opportunity for you to have fun whilst being part of something brand new and exciting for the community. We are currently looking for volunteers to help organise activities for readers, by helping as part of the management team. There are a wide range of ways to get involved including helping with finance, marketing, liaising with local venues and as team leader.
Would you like to make an impact by working directly with readers? If you are a confident reader and could spare half an hour twice a week, you could become a coach. Read Easy Benchill is also on the look out for a literacy specialist and a Coordinator who can help by pairing up volunteers and assess readers– perhaps you have some teaching experience or an interest in teaching and learning, and could spare some time regularly to help.
Please contact Debbie Penny on debbie@readeasy.org.uk or Vicky on 07931138350 if you would like to find out more.
To find out more about any of our current vacancies in Wythenshawe and across the North West, please contact Vicky – 07931138350 vicky@readeasy.org.uk or visit : https://readeasy.org.uk/get-involved/volunteer/
Many thanks to the Wellingborough Lions who presented their local Read Easy group with a cheque for £575 recently.
These funds will enable the group to buy the reading coaching books they need for their new adult readers and start the reading coaching with them.
