It may surprise you to know that a full Read Easy Volunteer Group is made up of 16 different roles! Follow the link to our website to find out more about the roles available at Read Easy and to connect to a group near you 🧡 readeasy.org.uk/volunteer/role…
Did you catch @bbcwm on Wednesday? Listen to our incredible volunteer, Rachel, chat about @ReadEasyBhamSW and how you can get involved! 🧡 You can hear us from 2h45 😀 #volunteer #brum #birmingham #adultliteracy #learntoread #literacy bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Today is the #InternationalDayofCharity and if you'd like to get involved with a small group helping adults learn to read in southwest Birmingham, we're always looking for new volunteers, venues and financial support! See our website for more info: readeasy.org.uk/groups/birming…
📣 Major milestone alert 📣 Our first 1-2-1 coaching session is taking place today after our first Reader and Coach were matched by our Co-ordinator! Thanks to all our volunteers for making it happen and best wishes to the Reader with their reading journey 📚👍
We believe that everyone should have the chance to learn to read, regardless of age or background. If you agree and would like to share the joy of reading, please get in touch with us about volunteering: readeasy.org.uk/groups/birming… #BookLoversDay #Volunteer #B2022
Great to learn more about #BirminghamStories tonight, a collaboration between @Literacy_Trust and @unibirmingham, and meet people working to improve literacy in Brum! #AdultEducation #Reading
📣 New partnership news 📣 All of our Readers can now benefit from free courses with Touch-type Read & Spell! A big thank you to @readandspell for their donation which means that adults who are learning to read with us can access more resources to further their reading skills.
When Jacky joined Read Easy, her main motivation was being able to read with her 7-year-old granddaughter and to help her sister who is now partially sighted. Find out more about our work at readeasy.org.uk/support-us/ #adultliteracy #literacy #literacycharity #lovereading
And that's our lovely little team so far! If you're interested in joining our team please see our website for available roles, readeasy.org.uk/groups/birming…, and if you have any questions you can email Maigread on [email protected] 😀 #VolunteersWeek #Reading #AdultEducation
Last but not least, meet Terry, our newest recruit! Terry is a retired teacher who recently joined the team as Venues Organiser. He'll be finding suitable venues in SW Brum for our free, 1-2-1 reading coaching to take place 📍📚 #VolunteersWeek
Meet Rosalind, our Team Leader, who learnt about Read Easy through her volunteering @Shannon_Trust, where she trains prisoners to mentor their peers to read. She has seen first-hand how being able to read brings people more opportunities in life #VolunteersWeek
Continuing our #VolunteersWeek introductions, this is me, Rachel, the Publicity Organiser for Read Easy Birmingham SW. I work as an Archivist and started volunteering with Read Easy after watching the inspiring @jayblades_ documentary, Learning to Read at 51.
Next up is Maigread, our Volunteer Recruiter. She's lived in Stourbridge for around 30 years and retired from working in a school 18 months ago. She loves reading and is happy to be helping people improve their reading skills through @ReadEasyUK. #VolunteersWeek
First up meet Ellie, who's been involved in setting up our group right from the very beginning. She is now our Fundraiser and recently secured our first grant from The Grail Society, which means we can purchase reading guides and materials for our future Readers 📚👍
As it's #VolunteersWeek we thought we'd introduce the volunteers who currently make up our team over the next couple of days. We have other roles available so if you're interested in #volunteering in #Birmingham please see our website: readeasy.org.uk/groups/birming…
We are delighted to share that our Founder, Ginny Williams-Ellis has been awarded an MBE in the #QueensBirthdayHonours list 2022 for Services to Education for her work in adult literacy. You can read more here: readeasy.org.uk/news/mbe-for-p… #birthdayhonourslist #adultliteracy
May is #NationalShareAStoryMonth and we’re sharing some of what our readers have shared with us about books and the change that learning to read has made to them and their loved ones. If you know someone who needs support with their reading, please get in touch.
Great to hear about how @jayblades_ #LearningToReadAt51 doc had such an impact on other adults who can't read. If you're near #Birmingham and want to get involved with a local @ReadEasyUK group get in touch! #Volunteering
"I always want to make shows that inspire people" @jayblades_ speaks about the impact his documentary 'Learning To Read At 51' has had 📖 Stream on @BBCiPlayer 👉 bbc.in/36RkAz2 #TheOneShow
Fantastic performance tonight and a great way to retell stories to a wider and more diverse audience, including people who may struggle with reading 📚👍💙
The Read with @bbcarts is a series of four creative performance readings of iconic British novels. This episode is directed by @yerotimibiu, one of @EdinburghTVFest's prestigious 'Ones to Watch' candidates in 2020, and part of our recent #NewCreatives scheme for emerging talent.
Watch a Sunday night story with @daniellevitalis: The Read premieres on TV's BBC Four. Danielle’s reading of The Lonely Londoners juxtaposes modern imagery and fascinating archive footage to reflect on how Sam Selvon's novel about the #Windrush generation shaped today's #London.
