Join the 100 Club
“Schoolreaders makes a wonderful impact on our school. It is that extra help to get children reading and learning with confidence. Where a child might not read at home they will get that support in school by one of our lovely volunteers. Reading enables children to discover new worlds, learn about themselves, others and the past.” Schoolreaders partner school, Essex
The 100 Club was created to celebrate Schoolreaders’ 10th anniversary. Since Schoolreaders’ inception, more than 80,000 children have received weekly one-to-one reading support from a Schoolreaders volunteer in primary school.
This regular, long-term support transforms children’s literacy. Research has consistently shown that time with a volunteer helps to improve children’s reading age, confidence, fluency and enjoyment. This springboard enables them to better access their secondary education, increasing their life chances.
Through regular gifts of at least £25 each month, each member of the 100 Club is directly providing at least seven children with one-to-one reading support for an entire academic year. Collectively, as we reach 100 members, the 100 Club will be able to improve literacy for at least 750 children – every year.
Members of the 100 Club receive occasional updates on the impact of their generosity and invitations to special, intimate events.
