A reading charity is calling for volunteers to be trained as reading helpers in Liverpool City Region schools.
Coram Beanstalk, a national reading charity celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and is keen to recruit volunteers to support primary schools across Liverpool. The charity works in 38 schools across Merseyside, with more than 40 reading helper volunteers, including one who has been volunteering for more than 20 years.
There are eight schools at present in need of reading helpers and the charity is urgently looking to recruit more volunteers. Head of Coram Beanstalk, Amy Lewis said: “Our volunteers are the face and heart of Coram Beanstalk. We really value the time they give to the children we exist to help.
