Beanstalk

Organisation Aims and Activities:

Beanstalk is a national literacy charity that recruits, vets, trains and supports volunteers to work in primary schools in Leeds and Bradford with children who have fallen behind with their reading. Its vision is a nation of confident children who can read and grow up to lead successful lives. Beanstalk reading helpers work with children on a one-to-one basis, giving them their full attention and support to improve reading levels, increase overall confidence and inspire a lifelong love of reading. Each Beanstalk reading helper works with three children and sees each child for two 30 minute sessions a week, during term-time, for a whole year. We provide ongoing support,opportunities to meet other volunteers and regular training. Our aim is confident children, literate for life.
