NEW VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT (360G-ocf-a061600000jrS4Y)

Funding Organization
£1,000
Recipient Organization

We will recruit, train, resource and support 3 new volunteers who will support 9 children for one year. Each child will benefit from 2 individual half hour sessions with their volunteer each week. Sessions will involve sharing books and games which the charity provides. The emphasis is on reading for pleasure; volunteers get to know their children, discover their interests and we can then source books to engage these reluctant readers. We would hope that these volunteers continue into second and subsequent years with the charity which would mean even more children could be benefit from this support.

Recipient Org: Description ARCh recruits, trains and supports volunteers who work one-to-one with disadvantaged primary school children who are struggling with their reading. The aim is to provide sustained mentoring over the course of a year, boosting children's confidence and to impart a love of reading which we hope will enhance their lives. There are currently around 250 active ARCh volunteers supporting more than 700 Oxfordshire children. Each child benefits from 2 ARCh sessions a week, sharing books, games and chat with their helper. ARCh provides every volunteer with a box of books and games which are carefully chosen in order to inspire the children to really want to read. At the end of a year's ARCh support schools tell us that not only has children's reading ability increased but attitude to reading and learning in general, confidence and self esteem and communication skills all improve too, meaning that children have the essential skills and aspirations to move to secondary education and a successful and happy life beyond.
