Bookstart is a national programme that aims to encourage a love of books, stories and rhymes in children from as young an age as possible.
Trained volunteers visit families in their own homes/in children’s centres and their local library to share rhymes and stories with the aim of increasing parents’ confidence, and encourage families to develop a regular reading habit.
We are looking to recruit volunteers to support families in Royal Wootton Bassett, Cricklade and Malmesbury.
No experience necessary as full training will be provided, however, volunteers should feel comfortable reading stories and rhymes out loud.
If you are interested in finding out more please contact Vicky Watt, Volunteer Coordinator for more details on 01249 464008 or [email protected]
The RISE Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all volunteers and staff to share in this commitment.
