There are 2.4 million adults in England alone – over 7% of the working age population – who can barely read or cannot read at all. Learning to read as an adult can be life-changing and break inter-generational cycles. Our Readers have often kept their literacy struggles a secret – too embarrassed and ashamed to seek help. Their bravery in coming to Read Easy means that you can help spark the transformation in their lives. Read Easy Bath was set up in 2020 and we already have a thriving community of coaches. You would play a key 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!
5-10 hours per year. If you would like to become more involved with Read Easy Bath, there are further opportunities available.
