Reading Heroes Volunteer

Reading Heroes is a scheme organised by The Reader organisation. Reading Heroes volunteers read (via Zoom) with care-experienced children for one hour per week.

We send the books to both the children's and the volunteer's houses, and we provide full support and training throughout the duration of the 26 week scheme.
