Beanstalk offers volunteering opportunities to businesses that are located near the schools in which we work. Why not ask your company if it might be interested in setting up a company reading scheme?
Setting up a Beanstalk company reading scheme is a great way for your company to:
-
offer its staff a rewarding volunteering experience and boost staff morale
-
help its staff develop their communication skills
-
show its support for their local community
-
demonstrate its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
-
make a lasting difference to children's lives
What commitment is required?
We ask companies who set up a Beanstalk company reading scheme to:
-
cover our support costs by contributing £750 per reading helper.
-
provide a minimum of 8 reading helpers (max. 10 in year one).
-
allow each volunteer to give 90 minutes per week on an agreed day.
-
allow the volunteers to attend school between 9 am and 3 pm.
-
ask the volunteers to commit for at least a full year (term time only).
-
allow the volunteers to attend a one-day or two-day initial training course.
-
agree to a two-year minimum partnership.
