We are currently looking for volunteers to support reading in our Primary Schools - Make a difference, one story at a time
Do you love books and believe in the power of reading?
Join us in helping children discover the joy of stories and the confidence that comes with literacy. Our primary schools are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support young readers – and you could be the one to spark a lifelong love of learning.
Why Volunteer?
Reading is the foundation of education, yet many children need extra support to build their skills.
As a volunteer, you will:
- Help children improve their fluency and comprehension
- Build their confidence
- Be a positive role model and make a lasting impact
- Volunteer at times that suit you
Whether you’re retired, a student, or simply passionate about education, your time and energy can make a real difference to the lives of our young people in East Anglia.
Our commitment to Safeguarding
The safety and wellbeing of children is our highest priority.
All volunteers must undergo appropriate safeguarding checks, including:
- An enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check
- References covering the last 5 years
- Safeguarding training and guidance before starting
We are proud to uphold the highest standards of child protection and safeguarding. When you volunteer with us, you become part of a trusted team dedicated to creating safe, supportive spaces where children can thrive.
*Please be aware that safeguarding checks, including the return of an enhanced DBS and reference verification, may take up to six weeks to complete.
