This , we want to highlight our partnership with the children’s literacy charity, Chapter One UK 📖💛
In partnership with Chapter One, our team provide 1:1 online reading support to children in a Bradford primary school and it continues to be one of our most popular and rewarding volunteering projects. Every week, for 30 minutes, our colleagues provide vital support to help the children improve their reading confidence and proficiency.
As Emma Bell, CEO at Chapter One, said: ""This matters enormously - when children receive sustained, personalised reading support at this crucial age, they develop not just literacy skills but confidence and a love of reading that sets them up for success in school and beyond.""
We look forward to continuing our work with Chapter One to help more children who struggle with reading!

Increase your understanding and learn how to protect the kids in your care here:
What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Manosphere
