Group to Help Adults Learn to Read (Salisbury/ SE Wilts)

Can You Help?

[Read Easy UK] is a national charity that helps adults learn to read by matching trained one-to-one volunteer reading coaches with non/beginner readers. They have established a successful track record because of its flexible, fun and free approach!

You may have seen the recent BBC1 documentary “[Learning to Read at 51]” featuring Jay Blades who achieved his aim of reading a story to his daughter through working with a coach from his local Read Easy group.

Plans are underway to start a Read Easy Group for Salisbury and South & East Wiltshire.

Can you help?
The following support is needed to deliver this life-changing service:

• Volunteers to join the team to run Easy Read locally
• Volunteers to become reading coaches
• Links with local referral agencies
• Free venues for training days and reading coaches sessions
• Donations from individuals and grants from local trusts.
