To mark International Volunteer Day on Monday 5th December, we're holding a Winter Celebration for all our reading helpers and their friends across London. This is an opportunity to find out more about our work in local primary schools and to speak to our volunteers about their experience as a Beanstalk trained reading helper.

Our special guest will be Mat Tobin, Senior Lecturer in English and Children's Literature at Oxford Brookes University. Mat will give an interactive workshop about how to use books to inspire children to read for pleasure. You can find out more about Mat here .

We'd love it if you could join us for some festive treats and to find out more about the difference our trained reading helpers make to the lives of children across London. 

As places are limited, please RSVP to confirm your attendance by email to Rachel Ellis or by calling 07972926329.
