On Friday Schoolreaders volunteer Mavis Nicholson and founder Jane Whitbread were interviewed on Nick's show on BBC 3 Counties Radio. Nick is himself a School Governor and father of three children and is extremely positive about Schoolreaders. He discussed what it's like to be a Schoolreader with Mavis, a retired Credit Manager.
