Bookmark Charity

Make your lunchbreak count!

Did you know that one in four children leave UK primary schools unable to read well? That’s 8 children in an average class. But you can help us change that. 30 minutes for you. A lifetime of opportunity for them. Bookmark need volunteers to help children to build their reading skills and confidence. Our volunteers spend just 1 hour a week, split into two 30-minute sessions, supporting a child online.

“Even if one child is influenced to think “books are for me” or “I can do this” – what an incredible difference to have made”

Volunteering with Bookmark fits around your schedule and can make a huge difference to a child who is struggling at school.

Reading isn’t just about books. It’s about reading a road sign, a safety manual, a job application or an important letter from the doctor. It is essential for a child to succeed, in school, and beyond. So your lunchbreak could change a child’s future.
