Volunteering Opportunities

Opportunity title Summary
Literacy Champion Read Manchester is a partnership between the National Literacy Trust and Manchester City Council to raise literacy levels and change the life stories of children, young people and adults across the city.
Working with schools and communities, local businesses and partner organisations, we share our love of stories and books with families to support them to develop the literacy skills needed to succeed in life.
Literacy Champions The National Literacy Trust supports children, young people and adults to develop the literacy skills they need to get where they want to go. We need local people to share
our story, to support and organise events, and fundraise to help us do just that.
Supporting Early Years Literacy Champions at the Literacy Trust are self-led volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in their community. Volunteers will receive an initial induction and are then provided with resources and guidance to help them spread the word on the importance of literacy, share literacy activities and resources, go along to groups and events, and to share the magic of books through community swaps, borrowing and gifting. As part of our work Early Years work in Gorton & Abbey Hey we will also be offering additional training around Speech and Language support for families in the community. This will include training around the local offer and referral routes and the National literacy Trust programme, First Words Together including talking tips for under twos. There will be several opportunities to support this work via parent workshops, events, storytelling sessions and more.
