We are raising money for Schoolreaders. Did you know that before Covid-19 1 in 4 children were leaving primary school unable to read well. This has been made even worse as a result of the pandemic, especially for the most disadvantaged children.
If children can't read well when they leave primary school, they will struggle with their secondary education, finding a job, and helping their own children learn to read.
The funds we raise will enable Schoolreaders to recruit and place volunteers in a local primary school at no cost to the school, so every child has the opportunity to catch up with vital reading skills.
Every £30 will provide weekly one-to-one reading support for one child with a Schoolreaders volunteer for a whole year.
With your help we can make sure children have a brighter future!
