Will you help us give all our children a brighter future by becoming a Born to Read volunteer?

Do you enjoy reading with and talking to children? Are you passionate about reading? Would you like to support a local primary school in helping children achieve?
We urgently need reading helpers in the Bradford area and Save the Children would love you to volunteer with them.
Save the Children is looking for motivated and enthusiastic volunteers who are keen to make a lasting difference to a child’s life.  As a volunteer on our Born to Read programme you will provide one-to-one support through reading with a child, playing word games and listening to what they have to say.
Born to Read is a partnership between Save the Children and the children’s literacy charity Beanstalk to place volunteers in primary schools to support children who are struggling to read. This consistent and regular support not only enables children to improve their reading but also boosts their confidence and improves their prospects.
To become a volunteer reading helper you must be patient and encouraging, a good listener and communicator, able to work one-to one with children at the child’s pace, have a passion for literacy and dedicated to inspiring the next generation of readers.
We also ask that you can commit to 90 minutes twice a week in a local primary school for one academic year. You can sign up at any time during the school year.  We will provide full training, on-going support and access to a wide range of exciting resources to support you in your role.

 All volunteers will be subject to a full enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check and reference checks. 
This is a fantastic volunteering opportunity for someone who is passionate about helping children and would like to make a difference through giving their time.

HOPE Together & HOPE Revolution

By
Dear friends, You are personally invited to attend an exciting evening at  Bradford Academy  that we hope will bring people together from Bradford and Leeds to see how further  Unity, Prayerful Worship and Missional Transformation  can develop between the two cities. Back in July 2012, we saw over 50 young people, 12 leaders and several churches from across Bradford and Leeds join together in a 2 day pilot mission. We partnered with a local church in Bradford to share and witness to Christ's love in word and deed. In addition to this, we included young people in the conversation of ways in which to help connect both cities in the future. There are many people interested in exploring the potential of developing something on a larger scale, culminating in a week of mission across the two cities in 2014.   Your attendances and input will help shape the way forward: We would like to invite you to an exciting evening of information about HOPE Together and the y...
