Read Easy Bath was set up in 2020 and we already have a thriving community of coaches. You would play a significant role in offering support to people who, for any number of reasons, missed their opportunity to learn to read at school. It has been extremely rewarding to see people's lives transformed by reading, gaining confidence and enabling them to see new opportunities and employment . Our volunteers give someone a skill that allows them to fulfil their goals and live everyday life more easily. It’s life-changing and you can be part of this! We are a fully established team who all pitch in together and support each other and are very inclusive of new people joining our team, so this will be a chance to support your local community and meet other like-minded volunteers.
