Promoting Children in Plymouth has identified a key barrier to children having the opportunity to become the best version of themselves… We know that for some children the chance to read to an adult at home is not an option for a myriad of sometimes complex reasons.
Working closely with the Plymouth business community and the primary schools most in need of support, we have started creating teams of volunteers who can visit a school on a regular basis and simply offer the opportunity to children to practice their reading skills. Many Plymouth Primary Schools welcomes this opportunity for their children.
Bookmark focuses on children in disadvantaged communities, where their support is needed the most. Our initiatives are designed to make a significant difference in their lives. For just one hour a week you can become a reading buddy and change the life chances of a Plymouth child.
Reading is a Superpower and will most definitely improve a child’s future outcomes and offer an incredibly rewarding experience to every volunteer
