Want to make a difference? Give a child the gift of reading....

Barnardos is looking for adults aged 55 years and older with time on their hands, lots of life experience and an enjoyment of reading for a volunteer reading programme for schools. Volunteers will provide one-to-one reading sessions to children in 1st and 2nd class who need some extra help with their reading. The sessions occur twice weekly for 40 minutes each and happen during school hours. Volunteers will be fully trained and supported. For more information contact Sinéad Hardiman at Barnardos on 01 453 0355 or email volunteers@barnardos.ie
